Abstract
The invention relates to modacryl filaments and fibers made from copolymers insoluble in acetone of acrylonitrile and from 20 to 45 weight % of vinylidene chloride, containing from 0 to 1.5 weight % of unsaturated organic sulfonic acids or the salts thereof, and from 0 to 10 weight % of further copolymerizable compounds, which copolymers have a K value according to Fikentscher of from about 60 to about 90, and a process for the manufacture thereof. These modacryl filaments and fibers are especially distinguished by their permanent brilliance and permanent transparence; these properties are maintained even on contact with water having a temperature above 80.degree.
