Abstract
A process of melt spinning a fibre-forming thermoplastic polymer, more particularly polyethylene terephthalate, polyhexamethylene adipamide or polypropylene, at a minimum wind up speed of 2 kilometers per minute in which there is added to the fibre-forming polymer, between 0.1% and 10% by weight of another polymer which is immiscible in a melt of the fibre-forming polymer, such other polymer having a particle size of between 0.5 and 3 microns in the melt with the fibre-forming polymer immediately prior to spinning and novel melt spun fibres produced by such a process and in which the other polymer is in the form of microfibrils.
