525437, 264537, 264540, 428 369, 428 3691, 428 3992, 528272

Abstract:

Extrusion blow molded (EBM) articles comprising a polyester having a dicarboxylic acid component and a glycol component. The dicarboxylic acid component comprises at least 90 mole % terephthalic acid residues. The glycol component comprises at least 75 mole % ethylene glycol residues and 15 to 25 mole % residues of a difunctional glycol such as, for example, 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol. Such EBM articles can exhibit reduced haze, reduced sharkskin, and/or increased compatibility in PET recycling.

C08K 5/52

US Classification:

524140, 524115, 524502, 524504, 524539, 525418

Abstract:

Polyester blends comprising (1) polyesters prepared from terephthalic acid, 100 to 5 mol % of 2,2,4,4-tetramethyl-1,3-cyclobutanediol, and 0 to 95 mol % 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol and (b) polyesters prepared from terephthalic acid and alkylene glycol. The blends may also contain an impact modifier and a phosphorous stabilizer. These blends can have a combination of thermal stability and toughness—making the materials useful in engineering molding plastics, packaging, films, and fibers.

International Classification:

C08G 63/183
C08G 63/199

US Classification:

428220, 528302, 528305

Abstract:

This invention relates to certain poly(1,4-cyclohexylenedimethylene terephthalate) copolyesters which are useful for the preparation of clear and tough thick wall molded parts, produced at good cycle times. The copolyesters can be molded into desired shapes such as cosmetic jars, fragrance caps, tool handles, and toothbrushes. These molded articles can have thick or thin walls and may be molded in a two shot molding process. The copolyesters also have good flow and reduced cycle times.
