Abstract

A filament, fiber or yarn consisting of a naphthalate polyester containing at least 85 mol % of ethylene-2,6-naphthalate units and having an intrinsic viscosity of 0.45 to 1.0, said filament, fiber or yarn having a diffrection intensity ratio (R) between a bragg refection angle 2.theta. = 187.7.degree. and 2.theta. = 15.6.degree., as determined by the X-ray diffraction method, being in the range of more than 1.73 and up to 5.00. Electrically insulating material can be produced by heat-treating a fabric consisting mainly of the above naphthalate polyester fibers and with a sleeve consisting mainly of the above naphthalate polyester fibers.
