Disclosed is the preparation of very high molecular weight polyamide, e.g., nylon, filaments, as indicated by such filaments exhibiting a very high Relative Viscosity (RV) value. Such filaments can be used to prepare polyamide staple fibers which are especially useful for industrial applications such as in papermachine felts. The filament preparation process involves a melt phase polymerization (MPP) procedure, optionally carried out in combination with a solid phase polymerization (SPP) procedure. Both of these procedures serve to increase the molecular weight and hence the RV of the polyamide filaments produced. These procedures are conducted under selected controlled conditions which permit realization of polyamide filaments of about 2 to 100 denier and which have RV values of greater than about 190. Such filaments also exhibit excellent tenacity and tenacity resistance properties.
