Claims
- 1. A melt-spun acrylonitrile polymer fiber wherein said acrylonitrile polymer has a composition of 87.6 parts acrylonitrile, 11.9 parts methyl methacrylate, 0.5 parts acrylamidomethylpropane sulfonic acid, and 3.5 parts polyvinyl alcohol, said fiber having a dye intensity of at least about 60, a shade change due to hot-wet processing of less than about 15, a straight tenacity of greater than about 3.8 grams per denier, a loop tenacity of greater than 2.5 grams per denier, and providing higher yarn spin limits than acrylonitrile polymer fiber produced by other spinning procedures while also providing higher yarn strength and single end breaks than comparable yarn spun from acrylonitrile polymer fiber produced by other spinning procedures.
- 2. A melt-spun acrylonitrile polymer fiber wherein said acrylonitrile polymer has a composition of 89 parts acrylonitrile, 11.0 parts methlmethacrylate and 6.5 parts polyvinyl alcohol, said fiber having a dye intensity of at least about 60, a shade change due to hot-wet processing of less than about 15, a straight tenacity of greater than about 3.8 grams per denier, a loop tenacity of greater than 2.5 grams per denier, and providing higher yarn spin limits than acrylonitrile polymer fiber produced by other spinning procedures while also providing higher yarn strength and single end breaks than comparable yarn spun from acrylonitrile polymer fiber produced by other spinning procedures.
