u00b0 c in the conventional manner the twisted cord was tested before greige cord and after treatment for the properties set forth in table ii the procedure of example 1 was repeated for examples 2 through 8 except that the oil portions b through h respectively described in table i were utilized in forming the spin finish table ii sets forth properties for twisted cords made from yarn produced in each example the spin finishes utilizing oil portions b and c of table i were formulated in accordance with the description of the preferred embodiment spin finishes utilizing oil portions d and e of table i were similarly formulated except that the aqueous emulsion of the oxidized polyethylene had the following composition ______________________________________ weight parts percent______________________________________oxidized polyethylene 50 25poe 9 10 octyl phenol 10 520 aqueous naoh solution 3 1 5water 137 68 5______________________________________ also the polyethylene emulsion was added to the oil in water emulsion at a ratio or weight percent of about 4 to 96 the spin finish utilizing oil portion g of table i was similarly formulated except that the aqueous emulsion of the oxidized polyethylene had the following composition ______________________________________ weight parts percent______________________________________oxidized polyethylene 34 17poe 9 10 octyl phenol 10 520 aqueous naoh solution 3 1 5water 153 76 5______________________________________ also the polyethylene emulsion was added to the oil in water emulsion at a ratio or weight percent of about 7 to 93 the remaining.
