  • Patent number: 8003555
    Abstract: A flame retardant synthetic fiber and a flame retardant fiber composite that satisfy high flame retardance and high fire resistance, a method for producing the flame retardant synthetic fiber and the flame retardant fiber composite, and a textile product are provided. The flame retardant synthetic fiber of the present invention includes a polymer (1) containing 30 to 70 parts by mass of acrylonitrile, 70 to 30 parts by mass of a halogen-containing vinylidene monomer and/or a halogen-containing vinyl monomer, and 0 to 10 parts by mass of a vinyl-based monomer copolymerizable therewith, based on 100 parts by mass of the polymer, and at least one kind of a metal compound (2) that accelerates a dehalogenation reaction of the polymer (1) during burning and a carbonization reaction of the polymer (1) during burning, wherein the flame retardant synthetic fiber has a shrinkage variation of 45% or less when a temperature is raised from 50° C. to 300° C. under a load of 0.0054 mN/dtex.

  • Patent number: 7612000
    Abstract: A modacrylic shrinkable fiber according to the present invention is containing a polymer composition obtained by mixing 50 to 99 parts by weight of a polymer (A) containing 40 wt % to 80 wt % of acrylonitrile, 20 wt % to 60 wt % of a halogen-ontaining monomer and 0 wt % to 5 wt % of a sulfonic-acid-containing monomer, and 1 to 50 parts by weight of a polymer (B) containing 5 wt % to 70 wt % of acrylonitrile, 20 wt % to 94 wt % of an acrylic ester and 1 wt % to 40 wt % of a sulfonic-acid-containing monomer containing a methallylsulfonic acid or metal salts thereof or amine salts thereof, in which a total amount of the polymer (A) and the polymer (B) is 100 parts by weight. In this way, a modacrylic shrinkable fiber that has a favorable color development property after dyeing and a high shrinkage ratio even after dyeing is obtained.
