ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a polyolefin fiber having an improved initial elongation, which comprises a strongly drawn body of a composition comprising ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene and an ultra-high-molecular-weight copolymer of ethylene with an olefin having at least 3 carbon atoms at such a ratio that the content of the olefin having at least 3 carbon atoms in the entire composition is such that the number of side chains per 1000 carbon atoms in the composition is 0.2 to 5.0 on the average, and having an intrinsic viscosity [.eta.] of at least 5 dl/g as the entire composition, wherein the strongly drawn body has at least two crystal melting endothermic peaks, close to each other, in the region of temperatures higher by at least 15.degree. C. than the inherent crystal melting temperature (Tm) of the composition determined as the main melting endothermic peak at the second temperature elevation when measured in the restrained state by a differential scanning calorimeter.
