Abstract
The invention relates to flame-retarding filaments and fibers and a process for the manufacture thereof. The filament-forming substance is a mixture of from 20 to 70 weight % of an acrylonitrile copolymer A containing at least 80 weight % of acrylonitrile units and from 0.3 to 20 weight % of other units copolymerizable with acrylonitrile, and from 80 to 30 weight % of an acrylonitrile copolymer B containing from 50 to 75 weight % of acrylonitrile units, from 25 to 45 weight % of vinyl chloride and/or vinylidene chloride units and from 0 to 5 weight % of other units copolymerizable with acrylonitrile. The filaments and fibers have a boil-off shrinkage of at least 20% and a knot strength of at least 10 cN/tex and are obtained by spinning the turbid solutions of the copolymer mixture, which however do not separate into components, in an aprotic solvent, and drawing of the filaments in a moderate ratio.
