Abstract: The present invention is directed to an acrylonitrile maleimides solution composition of highly desirable shelf like, having the acid component in said acrylonitrile maleimides soltuion adjusted to a level of no more than 0.1% by weight based on the amount of said maleimides contained in said solution and having a polymerization inhibitor in said solution adjusted to a level in the range of 0.0001 to 1% by weight based on the amount of said solution, and a method for the production thereof.
