<p>Polytrimethylene terephthalate which has a low content of a cyclic dimer and hardly produces the cyclic dimer when it is melt molded and a fiber made from the polytrimethylene terephthalate. Polytrimethylene terephthalate (A) is essentially composed of a trimethylene terephthalate unit, has an intrinsic viscosity of 0.5 to 1.6 dl/g and contains 0.01 to 0.5 wt% of a compound represented by the following formula (I) or (II):
(R 1 , R 2 and R 3 are the same or different hydrocarbon groups having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, n is an integer of 1 to 5, M is an alkali metal atom or alkali earth metal atom, and m is 1 when M is an alkali metal atom and 2 when M is an alkali earth metal atom),
(R 4 and R 5 are the same or different and each a hydrogen atom or hydrocarbon group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms).</p> |
