SULFOISOPHTHALIC ACID SOLUTION AND PROCESS THEREWITH

摘要

A process for producing a partially esterified SIPA such as an alkali metal sulfoisophthalic acid in a glycol is disclosed. The partially esterified SIPA in a glycol can be used to copolymerize with oligomer of terephthalic acid dimethyl terephthalate and a glycol. Also disclosed is a process for controlling the color of a dyeable polyester using a phosphorous compound. Further disclosed is a process for producing a dyeable polyester using a nickel or nickel alloy as surface metal or fluoropolymer surface in processing equipment.
