PROCESS FOR CRYSTALLIZING BLENDS OF POLYETHYLENE TEREPHTHALATE AND POLYETHYLENE ISOPHTHALATE

摘要

Polyester blends of polyethylene terephthalate and polyethylene isophthalate coated with an alkylene carbonate such as ethylene carbonate or propylene carbonate crystallize more quickly and at lower temperature than uncoated pellets, reducing the tendency of the pellets to stick together during the crystallization process prior to solid-state polymerization.
