This invention relates to a water-soluble fiber and a method of manufacturing the fiber. The water-soluble fiber of the invention is composed of a high molecular compound with a weight average molecular weight of not less than 10,000, which high molecular compound is obtainable by reacting a polyalkylene oxide compound, which is obtainable by addition polymerization of an ethylene oxide-containing alkylene oxide and an organic compound containing two active hydrogen atoms, with a polycarboxylic acid, an anhydride thereof, a lower alkyl ester thereof, or a diisocyanate and is manufactured by spinning the same high molecular compound. The water-soluble fiber of the invention is not only high in elongation and tensile strength but is readily soluble in water.

Water-soluble fiber and a method for manufacture therefor

Water-soluble fiber and a method for manufacture thereof

This invention relates to methods for porous resin moldings, for ultrafine fibers for ultrafine fiber nonwoven fabrics. In essence, the invention comprises providing a molding, spun fiber or crude nonwoven fabric containing a thermoplastic resin and a special high molecular compound which has an adequate affinity for the thermoplastic resin and able to dissolve rapidly in water and dissolving out the high molecular compound from the molding, spun fiber or crude nonwoven fabric. The method of the invention involve no risk of explosion or fire hazard in manufacture, free from adverse effects on health, and help curtail the manufacturing time.
