The invention relates to a method for continuously producing copolyamides
with melting points greater than approximately 265.degree. C. According
to the invention, in a continuous process, partially aromatic and
partially crystalline polyamides of the following chemical systems with
defined molar percentages of the individual components are produced
during the synthesis of polymers: 30 to 50 mol % of aromatic dicarboxylic
acids, which are derived from terephthalic acid; 30 to 50 mol % of
aliphatic diamines, which are derived from hexamethylenediamine or of
cycloaliphatic diamines having at least 6 C atoms, and; 0.5-25 mol % of
aromatic diamines or cyclic diamines with at least 6 C atoms. The sum of
all polymer-forming components add up to a composition of 100 mol %, and
a stoichiometric ratio between amines and carboxylic acids exists.
