57 This invention relates to polyethylene terephthalate and copolymers thereof having high clarity and process for making the same. The invention provides a process for making PET using protonic acid catalysts which result in a polymer having a level of haze which is lower than has heretofore been attainable, using conventional metallic catalysts. Further, the polyesters so produced have a lower melt temperature which improves the processability.
57 本发明涉及具有高透明度的聚
对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯及其共聚物和制造工艺。本发明提供了一种使用质子酸催化剂制造 PET 的工艺,该工艺可使聚合物的雾度低于迄今为止使用传统
金属催化剂所能达到的雾度。此外,这样生产出的聚酯具有较低的熔融温度,从而提高了加工性能。
