Abstract: The invention relates to a novel process for making compositions comprising a polyamid, water and a salt, having reduced crystallinity, wherein the process comprising the steps of: a. mixing the polyamide, water and a salt b. heating the mixture to a temperature above 100° C. in a range between 120° C. below the Brill temperature and 50° C. above the Brill temperature of the polyamide at a pressure above the vapour pressure of the mixture at said temperature c. optionally cooling down the mixture.
