Described are aramid fibers with a spin finish comprising n A) a compound of the formula I and/or II n n R.sup.1 --COO--(R.sup.2 --O).sub.x --R.sup.3 (I) n n n R.sup.3 --(O--R.sup.2).sub.x --OOC--R.sup.4 --COO--(R.sup.2 --O).sub.x n n --R 3 (II) n and B) a compound of the formula III ##STR1## where R 1 is alkyl or alkenyl having eight to eighteen carbon atoms, x is an integer from four to twenty, R 2 is butylene, propylene or ethylene, R 3 is hydrogen or C 1 -C 22 -alkyl or C 2 -C 22 -alkenyl, R 4 is alkylene or alkenylene having eight to eighteen carbon atoms, R 5 is alkyl or alkenyl having eight to eighteen carbon atoms, R 6 and R 7 are each alkyl having one to twelve carbon atoms, and R 8 is alkylene having one to four carbon atoms. The aramid fibers are usable in particular in the production of textile sheet materials by intermingling, twisting, braiding or folding. |
