Is this the solution to LP static issues?? Seems to be!

Last night i was listening to a superb original RCA white dog pressing of Lena Horne and Harry Belafonte ( if you can source this, i highly recommend it!) 
I noticed that all of my prior LP's were exhibiting considerable static attraction to my felt mat on my LP12. Not this one!!! How come, since the LP was played at the same time as the others, in the same system, the same room temperature etc.?? I noticed on the cover of the album the following large sticker: Miracle Surface, This record contains the revolutionary new antistatic ingredient, 317X, which helps keep the record dust free, helps prevent surface noise, helps insure faithful sound reproduction on Living Stereo.  

Whatever this additive is that was put on this album back in 1959 sure works well!! Anyone know what 317X is?? Why are we NOT using this stuff today??

"Why are we NOT using this stuff today?? "

Probably was later discovered to cause cause like everything else. One of the best series of LP recordings. Can't get enough of them.

Were they all washed the same? Or at all?

I am pretty new to all things turntable related but I think I've got all my static issues sorted with a can of GruvGlide. Maybe some expert will chime in on the long term effects of using said product, but it seems to work really well.

Dear @daveyf : It's an unknow product, to many years ago to recovery any internet information that maybe was a" propitary "one by the LP label.
