Abstract

A process is provided for preparing high strength polymetaphenylene isophthalamide fibers by the steps which include extruding a dope solution of a metaphenylene isophthalamide polymer in an organic solvent through a spinneret and into a coagulating liquid form in undrawn polymer filament; adjusting the content of the organic solvent; carrying out a first wet drawing in at least one aqueous wet drawing bath; making a second adjustment of the content of the organic solvent; carrying out a second wet drawing at a specified draw ratio in at least one aqueous wet drawing bath; drying the second wet drawn filament; and dry drawing the dried filament.
