Such a flame retardant polyamide filament is not required to contain any halogen-based compound and, therefore, can exhibit a high safety to environments and an excellent strength. Accordingly, the polyamide filament is suitable for production of a multi-filament, especially polyamide BCF obtained by crimping the multi-filament, and further carpets using the polyamide BCF. Also, the polyamide filament in the form of a monofilament is applicable to guard nets for wire harness, mesh sheets, etc.
