Abstract
Melted blends of polypropylene and polyamide 6 compatibilized with a p oly(propylene)/maleic anhydride copolymer were extruded and stretched to give filaments. The polypropylenic fibers obtained by this method w ere found to be easily dyeable in an aqueous dyebath. The wet-washing at 40, 60, and 90 degrees C and the light and dry-cleaning fastnesses of the new material appeared quite satisfactory. (C) 1997 Elsevier Sci ence Ltd.
