An object of the present invention is to provide a sewing thread treatment agent, and a sewing thread, each achieving low friction properties across a wide range of sewing speeds. As a solution, a sewing thread treatment agent is provided, which is characterized in that it contains a hydroxy-terminated polydimethylsiloxane (A), a nonionic surfactant (B), and at least one type of wax (C) selected from paraffin wax, oxidized paraffin wax, polyethylene wax, oxidized polyethylene wax, and carnauba wax.

A carbon fiber bundle having a high abrasion resistance property and simultaneously being excellent in widening property is provided by a carbon fiber bundle with an adhered sizing agent including a carbon fiber bundle, and a sizing agent adhered to a surface of the carbon fiber bundle, wherein the sizing agent contains an epoxy compound, and shows an intersection of a storage modulus and a loss modulus at an angular frequency in the range of 1×10.sup.5 to 1×10.sup.9 rad/sec in a measurement at 25° C.

Disclosed is an elastic fiber treatment agent that contains a smoothing agent and an alkyl phosphate ester compound. The alkyl phosphate ester compound contains specific phosphate ester Q1 and at least one or more selected from specific phosphate esters Q2 and Q3. In a P nucleus NMR measurement of the alkyl phosphate ester compound upon an alkali over-neutralization pretreatment, a P nucleus NMR integral ratio attributed to the phosphate ester Q1 is 15% to 60% if the sum of P nucleus NMR integral ratios attributed to the phosphate esters Q1 to Q3 and phosphoric acid and its salt is taken as 100%.

An elastic fiber treatment agent that contains a smoothing agent, water and an organic phosphoric acid ester salt. The smoothing agent contains a mineral oil with an aniline point of not more than 110° C., a silicone oil, and optionally an ester oil. Assuming that the sum of the content ratios of the smoothing agent, the water, and the organic phosphoric acid ester salt in the elastic fiber treatment agent is 100 parts by mass, the elastic fiber treatment agent contains the mineral oil at a ratio of 20 to 90 parts by mass and the water at a ratio of 0.01 to 2 parts by mass.

A textile structure including one or more layers of warp yarns interwoven with one or more layers of weft yarns, a durable thermoregulating coating, and a binder that chemically bonds the durable thermoregulating coating to the textile structure. The warp yarns and/or weft yarns include polyester yarns. A method for manufacturing a textile structure includes weaving one or more layers of warp yarns with one or more layers or weft yarns to form a woven textile structure, brushing the textile structure at least two times, applying a binder to the textile structure, and applying a durable thermoregulating coating to the textile structure such that the binder chemically bonds the durable thermoregulating coating to the textile structure. The method may also include heat setting and curing the textile structure to fix the durable thermoregulating coating permanently onto the textile structure.

An elastic fiber treatment agent that contains, as a smoothing agent, a mineral oil with a content ratio of an aromatic component of less than 1% by mass and an aniline point of 70° C. to 110° C. The mineral oil has a mass ratio between the content of a naphthene component and the content of a paraffin component of such that naphthene component/paraffin component=30 to 50/70 to 50.

A nonwoven fabric layered body includes a first nonwoven fabric layer including a crimped fiber (A), which is a fiber made of a thermoplastic polymer and which has an average crimp diameter of 800 μm or less; and a hydrophilic agent.
