Abstract: A highly shrinkable fiber composed of nylon-MXD6 polymer and nylon-6 polymer, characterized in that a weight ratio therebetween is in the range of 35:65 to 70:30, and that each thereof exhibits a breaking strength of 4.00 cN/dtex or greater. Preferably, the weight ratio between nylon-MXD6 polymer and nylon-6 polymer of the highly shrinkable fiber is in the range of 45.55 to 55:45. The highly shrinkable fiber exhibits a high shrinkage ratio in boiling water, so that when the highly shrinkable fiber is used in a woven fabric, there can be realized a high density.

Abstract: A screen gauze formed of a core-sheath composite monofilament comprising the core 1 formed by a fiber-forming polymer 4 containing a material 3 having a property of absorbing light at wavelengths of 350 nm to 450 nm and the sheath 2 formed by a fiber-forming polymer 5, the core-sheath composite monofilament having average reflectance of 15% or less to light at wavelengths of 350 nm to 450 nm, and a screen gauze using the same. The monofilament is free from strength reduction, scum generation and abrasion of related parts such as reed, and makes no difficulty in ink-release, and requires no dyeing process and thus no additional cost therefor.

Abstract: A belt-shaped woven structure formed by weaving a non-heat fusible synthetic fiber and a heat fusible synthetic fiber containing in a surface portion thereof a heat fusible component having a softening point lower by 30° C. or more than that of the non-heat fusible synthetic fiber. The heat fusible synthetic fiber is used in at least a part of weft threads forming the woven structure, so that a heat treatment on the woven structure at a temperature higher than the softening point of the heat fusible component fusion bonds the heat fusible synthetic fibers to each other or the heat fusible synthetic fiber and the non-heat fusible fiber. A method of efficiently producing the belt-shaped woven structure such as a seatbelt webbing which is capable of maintaining long-lasting lateral rigidity after repeated use, less prone to twisting, flexible and easy to handle.
