Abstract

Abstract A fiber excellent in strength and having an average size of 10,000 - 0.1 denier can be obtained by extruding a raw material composed mainly of a polypropylene having a syndiotactic pentad fraction of 0.7 or more and optionally stretching the resulting extruded material. By using as the raw material a composition con­sisting of two kinds of polypropylenes each having an in­trinsic viscosity η₁ or η₂, the log(η₂/η₁) being more than 0.05 or less than -0.05, and a syndiotactic pentad fraction of 0.7 or more at a weight ratio of 95 : 5 - 5 : 95 or a composition consisting of at least 50 parts by weight of a syndiotactic polypropylene having the intrinsic viscosity η₁ and a syndiotactic pentad fraction of 0.7 or above and at most 50 parts by weight of an isotactic polypropylene having the intrinsic viscosity η₂, the extrudability is improved and the fiber stretching conditions are broadened.
