Abstract

The present invention discloses a polyester fiber having a birefringence of 0.025 or more, comprising at least 90% by weight of a poly (trimethylene terephthalate), on which a finishing agent composed essentially of (1) an aliphatic hydrocarbon ester having a molecular weight of 300 to 800 and/or a mineral oil having a Redwood viscosity at 30° C. of 40 to 500 seconds, (2) a polyether having a structure containing an ethylene oxide unit and a propylene oxide unit, (3) a nonionic surfactant, and (4) an ionic surfactant in a specific proportion is applied.
