Abstract: A pellet comprising glass fibers and a thermoplastic polyester matrix, wherein the glass fiber at least partially has been coated with a two-part sizing composition comprising: (C) A precursor comprising: (a) an aminosilane and (b) a polymer or copolymer containing carboxylic acid and/or anhydride, both having a functionality, F?3, and (D) A binder comprising a multifunctional epoxy resin of functionality, F?3, and wherein the pellet has been subjected to a solid state post condensation process (SSPC).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for producing polyester, which method comprises reacting a dicarboxylic acid and a diol in the presence of a trizazine derivative, such as melamine-cyanuric acid (MeCy). The invention also relates to process for producing a polyester, which method comprises reacting a dicarboxylic acid and a diol in the presence of a metal sulfate.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for injection moulding an article having a thickness of between 1 to 3 mm and having a b value in the CIE colour system of between ?1 and +0.1 and a haze value of less than 2%, as measured at 2 mm thickness, comprising the following steps: a) Providing a composition comprising: i) a polyester produced by copolymerizing, in the presence of an aluminum or germanium compound, at least three monomers chosen from at least one alkylenediol and at least one dicarboxylic acid component, ii) from 1 to 5 ppm of at least one dye and iii) from 0.1 to 0.5 m % of a fatty acid ester mould release agent, b) Injecting the composition in a mould at a temperature of below 60° C. until the mould is filled; c) Ejecting the article.
