Improved modacrylic fibre, endowed with characteristics of reduced flammability and process for its preparation.

摘要

A modacrylic fibre showing a reduced flammability, and endowed with improved general characteristics, is obtained by wet-spinning a copolymer contained metered amounts of acrylonitrle, vinylidene chloride, acrylamide and alkaline metallyl-sulphonate monomers. Said copolymer is obtained in its turn by copolymerizing said monomers in aqueous suspension and in the presence of a redox catalyst consisting of an alkaline hydroxylamine-sulphonate and alkaline bisulphite.
