ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Quaternary ammonium compounds are disclosed which are represented by the graphic formula: wherein R is a C2-C22 alkyl, R1 is selected from the group consisting of C1-C22 alkyl and an alkyleneoxy radical represented by the formula [-CH2-C(A)H-O]XH, R2 is selected from the group consisting of C1-C3 alkyl, and the alkyleneoxy radical, [-CH2-C(A)H-O]xH, or R2 may join together with R1 to form a morpholino group, R3 is an alkyleneoxy radical represented by the formula [-CH2-C(A)H-O]xH, Rb is a C8-C18 alkyl, A is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, methyl and ethyl, and x is an integer of from 1 to 5. These compounds are useful as antistatic agents for synthetic polymer articles. |
