A process of producing a vinyl chloride fiber with a small fineness having seven-tenth to half of the full luster surface and feel remarkably similar to human hair is provided. The process provides the vinyl chloride fiber comprising a vinyl chloride resin composition obtained by formulating (a) 1-35 parts by weight of ethylene-vinyl acetate resin, (b) 0.2-5.0 parts by weight of thermal stabilizer, and (c) 0.2-5.0 parts by weight of lubricant to 100 parts of a vinyl chloride mixture consisting of 100-60% by weight of a vinyl chloride resin and 0-40% by weight of chlorinated vinyl chloride resin. The process also provides the vinyl chloride fiber obtained by melt spinning the resin composition described above. The vinyl chloride fiber is useful for an artificial hair fiber for the decoration of hair or a doll's hair fiber such as a doll hair.

Vinyl chloride fiber and process of producing the same

Vinyl chloride fibers and process for preparing the same

A doll's hair comprising synthetic fibers to which a water repellent is applied, said fiber having such a water repellency that when a liquid droplet of 20% by weight aqueous isopropyl alcohol solution is placed on the bundle of said fibers, the droplet is kept as it is for not less than one minute on the bundle. Since the doll's hair comprises the fibers having the excellent water repellency, even if a child plays at a doll in a bathroom, for instance, she dips the doll in water, and combs or shampoos the hair, water can be easily removed from the hair, and the original hairstyle can be quickly restored.

Doll's hair

A doll having hair comprising synthetic fiber consisting essentially of an acrylonitrile polymer comprising 30 to 80% by weight of an acrylonitrile and 70 to 20% by weight of at least one of a vinyl chloride and a vinylidene chloride. The fiber hair of the invention have the excellent flame resistance, the natural touch, the natural and quiet luster, the excellent curl retention and the excellent bulkiness.
