MONOFILAMENTS, PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION THEREOF AND FABRICS THEREOF

摘要

A blend of two resins forming a novel monofilament comprises from about 50 to 95 parts by weight of a linear polyphenylene sulfide and, from about 5 to 50 parts by weight of a melt extrudable copolymer consisting essentially of an olefin and a halogenated monomer. The monofilament is prepared by extruding a mixture of the linear poly phenylene sulfide and the melt extrudable copolymer to form a monofilament and thereafter drawing the monofilament to a ratio of from about 3.5:1 to 6.0:1. The filament can be employed for the manufacture of fabric.
