A process for improving the rate of crystallization of a diphenylisophthalate/diphenylterephthalate monomer. The process comprises dissolving the monomer in an organic solvent, filtering the solution to remove impurities, and crystallizing the monomer to remove impurities. The precipitated monomer is then separated from the solvent by a centrifuge and dried. The monomer has a desired crystal size of about 2 mm. The process also is more efficient in that it reduces scaling inside the reactor system.
