Abstract
Abstract The color of polyamides of bis(aminophenyl)sulphones and Alpha , omega -polymethylene dicarboxylic acids having from six to 16 carbon atoms in all, or mixtures of these acids with up to 25 mole percent of one or more other dicarboxylic acids, may be improved by replacing from 4 to 20 mole percent of the bis(aminophenyl)sulphone with a linear or branched alkylene diamine having the structure NH2CH2(CR1R2)mCH2NH2 where each R1 and R2 is hydrogen or an alkyl group having up to four carbon atoms and m is from 0 to 10 inclusive.
