Abstract
The present invention provides a process for producing acrylic fibers having excellent surface smoothness and a color development ratio not less than 105%, without generating numerous wrinkles peculiar to wet spinning. The process comprises wet-spinning an acrylonitrile polymer spinning solution of from 50.degree. to 70.degree. C. having a viscosity of from 40 to 200 poises at 30.degree. C., (a) with a spinning draft of from 0.05 to 0.2 in the case wherein the spinnerette orifice capillary length is 0.5 mm or less, and (b) with a spinning draft of from 0.13 to 2.0 in the case where the spinnerette orifice capillary length exceeds 0.5 mm; coagulating and water-washing the resulting fibers substantially without stretching; and thereafter wet-heat-stretching the fibers not less than 4 times in length at a temperature not lower than 80.degree. C.
