The agent for processing synthetic fibers prepared in the examination classification 2 and dilution water were uniformly mixed to make 10 % aqueous solution. After drying polyethylene terephthalate chip having an intrinsic viscosity of 0.64 and 0.2 % content of titanium oxide by the general method, said polyethylene terephthalate chip was spun by using an extruder at 295 degree C, and extruded from a spinneret to be solidified to make a traveling yarn by cooling. After adhering the prepared 10 % aqueous solution to the traveling yarn to have the adhesion amount described in Table 3 as the agents for processing synthetic fibers by the oiling jet with metering pump, the yarn was bundled by the guide, and wound at the speed of 3000 m / minute without causing elongation mechanically . Then, a par tial or i en ted yarn of a 128 decitex 36 filament was obtained as a 10kg cake . • False-twisting process The false-twisting process was carried out under the following conditions by a contact type False- twisting Apparatus, by using said cake. • • Conditions of the False-twisting process by the contact type False-twisting Apparatus : By using the contact type False - twisting Apparatus (SDS 1200 of Teijin Seiki Co., Ltd.), the false - twisting process was carried out with a continuous operation for 25 days under the following conditions, that is, a yarn speed was 800 m / minute, a draw ratio was 1.652, a twisting method was a friction disc method, which had one inlet side guide disc, one outlet side guide disc and seven rigid polyurethane discs, a length of a primary heater was 2.5 m, an surface temperature of said primary heater was 210 °C, there was no secondary heater, and a target twist number was 3300 T / m. • Evaluation of fluff In said false-twisting process, the number of fluff per hour was measured by a Fray counter (DT- 105 of Toray Engineering Co., Ltd.), before winding the false-twisting processed yarn, and said number was evaluated with the following basis. These results were shown in Table 3. AAA : The number of measured fluff was 0. AA : The number of measured fluff was 1. A : The number of measured fluff was 2 to 5.
