Antistatic agents containing phosphorus

Antistatic agents that contain phosphorus can be used for almost all polymers. They are recommended mainly for PVC with which they also function as plasticizers [11,13]. They are phosphoric acid derivatives, phosphine oxides, triphosphoric acid derivatives, and substituted phosphoric amides. Typical examples are the following  

Ethoxylated alcohols and phosphoric acid esters 0=P[0(CH2CH20) t—R]3 Ammonium salts of phosphoric acid esters

Vinyl fibers except for vinal and vinal-vinyon do not generally undergo specialized finishing, although antioxidants and antistatic agents may be used. Vinal and vinal-vinyon matrix fibers can be treated with urea-aldehyde based durable press finishes to improve their wrinkle recovery, and vinal can be made flame retardant with phosphorus-containing finishes used for cellulosics.
