Abstract: Polyester blends comprising (1) polyesters prepared from terephthalic acid, 100 to 5 mol % of 2,2,4,4-tetramethyl-1,3-cyclobutanediol, and 0 to 95 mol % 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol and (b) polyesters prepared from terephthalic acid and alkylene glycol. The blends may also contain an impact modifier and a phosphorous stabilizer. These blends can have a combination of thermal stability and toughness—making the materials useful in engineering molding plastics, packaging, films, and fibers.

Abstract: Extrusion blow mold assemblies, extrusion blow molded articles exhibiting increased strength and enhanced processability, and processes for making said articles. In some aspects, the articles produced herein can include relatively rigid bottles and other containers that exhibit high drop impact performance, while still being relatively easy to deflash. Such containers can be efficiently produced on a commercial scale and are widely usable in a variety of applications, including those in the food, beverage, cosmetic, and medical industries.

Abstract: This invention relates to certain poly(1,4-cyclohexylenedimethylene terephthalate) copolyesters which are useful for the preparation of clear and tough thick wall molded parts, produced at good cycle times. The copolyesters can be molded into desired shapes such as cosmetic jars, fragrance caps, tool handles, and toothbrushes. These molded articles can have thick or thin walls and may be molded in a two shot molding process. The copolyesters also have good flow and reduced cycle times.
