The invention also comprises the enhanced fiber formed by the process having an atmospheric dyeability greater than that of an unenhanced PET produced under identical conditions except for the addition of the adipic acid and pentaerythritol, a modulus of greater than 3.0 g/denier, a tenacity from about 5 to 7 g/denier and a hot air shrinkage of less than 10%.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 1993Date of Patent: December 21, 1993Assignee: Hoechst Celanese CorporationInventors: Joseph A. Roderiguez, Theodore D. Meiss
