Abstract
Abstract A two-component composite filament having an unbiased dyeability and a suppressed crimpability wherein three distinctly sectioned portions including respectively a part of the periphery of the unitary filament are disposed in a side-by-side relation and extends uniformly throughout the entire length of the filament, two portions among said three portions are separated by an adherent intervened portion therebetween, said separated two portions are composed of one thermoplastic synthetic linear polymer and said intervened portion is composed of another thermoplastic synthetic linear polymer which has different heat shrinkability from that of the former polymer.
