METHOD OF POLYMERIZING DEIONIZED BIS-BETA-HYDROXYETHYL TEREPHTHALATE

摘要

A method of producing a polyester from high-purity bis- beta -hydroxyethyl terephthalate as a raw material containing cations and anions in trace amounts. Polyester production raw materials including bis- beta -hydroxyethyl terephthalate containing cations and anions in a total weight of not more than 50 ppm, ethylene glycol and antimony trioxide and/or germanium dioxide as a polymerization catalyst are heated without substantially distilling off ethylene glycol and then heated under reduced pressure to be polycondensed while ethylene glycol is distilled off.
