Abstract
It is provided that a multifilament and a braid that are capable of being processed into products in a wide range of temperature and are excellent in dimensional stability and abrasion resistance. A multifilament comprising 5 or more monofilaments and a braid comprising the multifilament, wherein the multifilament contains polyethylene having an intrinsic viscosity [η] of 5.0 dL/g or more and 40.0 dL/g or less and substantially including ethylene as a repeating unit, the monofilament has a titer of 3 dtex or more and 40 dtex or less, the multifilament has a thermal shrinkage of 0.20% or less at 70° C. and a thermal shrinkage of 3.0% or less at 120° C., and a stress Raman shift factor under the condition of applying a load that is 10% of a breaking load to the monofilament is 5.0 cmor less.
