Abstract: A method of forming a multimodal Polyalkylene Terephthalate (PAT) can include: providing a feed of a low molecular weight (LMW) PAT, the LMW PAT having a low average molecular weight; providing a feed of high molecular weight (HMW) PAT, the HMW PAT having a high average molecular weight, wherein the low average molecular weight is lower than the high average molecular weight; mixing the feed of LMW PAT with the feed of HMW PAT in a mixer to form a multimodal PAT; and providing the multimodal PAT as output. The multimodal PAT can include: a low average molecular weight of a low molecular weight (LMW) PAT; and a high average molecular weight of a high molecular weight (HMW) PAT mixed with the LMW PAT to form the multimodal PAT, wherein the multimodal PAT is devoid of talc.

Abstract: A method of forming a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) mixture with talc includes: providing a feed of PET (PET feed); providing a feed of talc (talc feed); mixing the feed of PET with the feed of talc in a mixer at a PET:talc ratio of about 3:1 to about 1:3 to form a PET/talc mixture; and providing the PET/talc mixture as output. A method of forming a Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) alloy having talc includes: providing a feed of the PET/talc mixture (PET/talc feed); providing a feed of PET (PET feed); mixing the feed of PET with the feed of PET/talc in a mixer to form a PET alloy having from about 1% (w/w) talc to about 50% talc (w/w); and providing the PET alloy as output.
