Polycondensates are made by condensing epichlorhydrin with a C3- 30 primary aliphatic amine or a C4- 60 secondary aliphatic amine and with an aliphatic, aromatic or heterocyclic bis-secondary amine (as in Specification 992,011), and treating the product with an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal hydroxide or carbonate in excess of the amount required for complete neutralization. Preferred condensates are those derived from n-octadecylamine or n-dodecylamine, epichlorhydrin and piperazine. The molecular weight of the product decreases in direct proportion to the excess of base added. Sodium hydroxide is the preferred base; the hydroxides, carbonates and bicarbonates of Na, K, Li, NH4, Rb, Cs, Ca, Sr, Ba, and Mg are stated to be suitable. The products may be mixed with olefin or acrylonitrile polymers in powder, granulated or sintered form, or in solution, and used in the preparation of fibres, films, tapes and other shaped articles. In Examples n - octadecylamine / epichlorhydrin/piperazine condensates are treated with slight excesses of NaOH, and the products are agitated with water, filtered, washed and dried, and a n-dodecylamine / epichlorhydrin / piperazine condensate is treated with an excess of NaOH and dissolved in methanol, when NaCl is filtered off and the solvent is evaporated.
