A process for producing fibers by spinning a resin by a centrifugal spinning process comprises supplying a resin solution having a viscosity from 50 to 200 Pa.s at the spinning temperature to a whirler plate and ensuring that the resin solution is under a sufficient pressure to completely fill the nozzles of the whirler plate as the fibers are being spun. The process is particularly suitable for producing fibers based on amino resins. In the apparatus the supply line for the resin is preferably located within the driveshaft.

Production of fibers by centrifugal spinning

A condensation polymer, obtainable by condensation of a mixture containing, as chief components,

Modified melamine-formaldehyde resins

Moldings, in particular foams and fibers, based on melamine/formaldehyde condensation products, in which from 0.1 to 70 mol % of the melamine have been replaced by melamine substituted by from 1 to 3 hydroxyoxaalkyl groups of the formula

Melamine resin moldings having increased elasticity

Moldings, in particular foams and fibers, based on melamine/formaldehyde condensation products, in which from 0.1 to 70 mol% of the melamine have been replaced by melamine substituted by from 1 to 3 hydroxyoxaalkyl groups of the formula

Crude copper phthalocyanines are transformed into a pigmentary state by treating finely divided but imperfectly crystallized and highly aggregated crude copper phthalocyanines having a primary particle size, produced by ball milling, or less than 0.1 .mu.m with an organic solvent by subjecting a suspension of the organic solvent and the milled crude copper phthalocyanine (hereinafter referred to as the solvent/pigment suspension), which has a pigment concentration of from 15 to 55% by weight and a solvent concentration of from 15 to 85% by weight and which may contain water in a concentration of from 0 to 30% by weight, to a shear gradient of from 1000 to 20000 s.sup.-1 for a period of from 2 to 1000 s with an energy uptake during shearing of from 0.01 to 0.02 kWh/kg of pigment throughput, then metering water into the solvent/pigment suspension in an amount of from 0.1 to 10 times the amount of the solvent, to effect a defined discontinuation of the conditioning process, and finally mixing the suspension until homogeneous.
