Described as one aspect of the invention are polyester compositions comprising at least one polyester which comprises:
(A) a dicarboxylic acid component comprising:
i) 70 to 100 mole % of cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid residues or an ester thereof comprising:
(a) 70 to 98 mole % trans-cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid residues or an ester thereof; and
(b) 2 to 30 mole % cis-cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid residues or an ester thereof;
ii) 0 to 30 mole % of aliphatic dicarboxylic acid residues, other than cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid residues, having up to 16 carbon atoms or esters thereof, other than cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid residues,; and
iii) 0 to 10 mole % of aromatic dicarboxylic acid residues having up to 20 carbon atoms; and
(B) a glycol component comprising:
i) 1 to 99 mole % of 2,2,4,4-tetramethyl-1,3-cyclobutanediol residues; and
ii) 1 to 99 mole % of 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol residues, 1,3-cyclohexanedimethanol residues, 1,2-cyclohexanedimethanol residues or esters thereof or mixtures thereof,
wherein the total mole % of said dicarboxylic acid component is equal to 100 mole %;
the total mole % of said glycol component is equal to 100 mole %;
wherein the inherent viscosity of said polyester is from 0.35 to 1.2 dL/g as determined in 60/40 (wt/wt) phenol/tetrachloroethane at a concentration of 0.5 g/100 ml at 25° C.; and wherein said polyester has a Tg of from 60 to 155° C. The polyesters may be manufactured into articles.
