Abstract
A process of making polyvinylidene fluoride yarns and fibers of homogeneous structure and good dry strength includes the steps of spinning the solution of the polymer into a coagulating bath containing 45 to 60% by weight aprotic polar organic solvent and 40 to 55% by weight water, stretching the filaments in air to a ratio of 1.5 to 5x and then in boiling water to a ratio of 1.5 to 4x (overall stretching ratio of 3x to 6.5x) and then washing in water at room temperature.
