Abstract

In order to obtain a poly(glycol terephthalate) prepolymer having a "locked-in" amorphous content, molten prepolymer having an inherent viscosity of 0.33 to 0.43 is cast on to a metal surface to form a layer 5 to 35 mm. thick, the upper surface of the layer being cooled by a gas whilst the underside of the metal support is cooled by a heat-exchange liquid to a temperature of not more than 90 DEG C. at the point of first contact to no less than 10 DEG C. at the latest contact, whereby, the molten surface of the layer is essentially immediately cooled to form a surface crust and the remainder of the layer is cooled to a maximum internal temperature of 125 DEG C. in 1 to 5 minutes. The resulting solid prepolymer may then be further solid-phase polymerized to an inherent viscosity of at least 0.5 by grinding the prepolymer to a powder of which substantially all passes a 20-mesh screen and heating the powder with agitation in a current of an inert gas at atmospheric or reduced pressure for no more than 8 hours. The resulting polyester has a lower initial melting point, as shown by differential thermal analysis, then a polyester prepared in the normal manner. To obtain the molten prepolymer, the process comprises (a) heating 1 mole of a dialkyl ester of terephthalic acid (up to 10 mole per cent of which may be replaced by an aliphatic dicarboxylic acid containing 2 to 40 carbon atoms) at 150 DEG to 225 DEG C. and at 1 to 3 atmospheres pressure, the monohydric alcohol distilled off being removed whilst the glycol distilled off is returned to the reaction vessel, whereby an ester containing 1 to 10 acid residues is produced and (2) heating this ester in a second reaction vessel at a temperature of not more than 20 DEG C. higher than the melting point of the prepolymer and at gradually reducing pressures whilst the contents of the reaction vessel are kept in a condition of turbulent flow. The glycol may be ethylene glycol, dodecamethylene glycol, neopentyl glycol, 2 : 2 : 4 : 4-tetramethyl - 1 : 3 - cyclobutanediol or 1 : 4-cyclohexanedimethanol up to 10 mol. per cent of which may be replaced by poly-(ethylene glycol), poly-(tetramethylene glycol) or hydroxy terminated poly-(neopentylene adipate).
