Ethylene terephthalate/ethylene 2,6-naphthalene-dicarboxylate copolymers for bottles

摘要

An ethylene terephthalate/ethylene-2,6-naphthalene dicarboxylate copolymer comprising 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid in an amount of 5 to 20 mol% of the total of all dicarboxylic acid components. This copolymer contains Mn, Mg and Co derived from catalysts and P derived from a phosphorus compound as a stabilizer whose amount is controlled to a specific value and is suitable for use as a raw material for molding a bottle having good color (achromatic) and transparency.
