Abstract
An ultra-high-tenacity multifilament fiber of polyvinyl alcohol having a degree of polymerization of at least 1500, said filament having a tensile strength of at least 12 g/d and an initial modulus greater than 280 g/d, which is produced by a process for producing an ultra-high-tenacity polyvinyl alcohol fiber which comprises the steps of dissolving polyvinyl alcohol having a degree of polymerization of at least 1500 in a solvent, dry-spinning the resulting polymer solution through a spinneret into an environment of air or inert gas, introducing the dry-spun filaments into a coagulating bath, and drawing the coagulated filaments at a total effective draw ratio of at least 20 times.
