  • Publication number: 20170136747
    Abstract: An article such as a film or sheet comprises a heat-sealable polyester composition having an amorphous processing window ranging from a Tg in the range of about 40 to about 70° C., to a Tcg in the range of about 70 to about 150° C. The composition comprises poly(trimethylene furandicarboxylate) homopolymer or copolymer, or a blend of poly(trimethylene furandicarboxylate) homopolymer or copolymer with other polymers such as poly(alkylene furandicarboxylate) homopolymer or copolymer or poly(alkylene terephthalate) homopolymer or copolymer. The resulting composition is heat-sealable at low temperatures, and exhibits superior barrier properties compared to poly(ethylene terephthalate).
