Abstract: A modified polyalkylene terephthalate composition comprising polyalkylene terephthalate and polyoxyalkylene compound having metal salt of organic carboxylic acid. The composition, which can be used as a molding material, has improved workability, high crystallizing rate and excellent mechanical strength.

Abstract: A method of preventing scale formation and adhesion onto the surfaces of a polymerization vessel and auxilliary equipment used in polymerization of vinyl chloride monomer, wherein the surfaces are coated prior to polymerization with a coating agent having the concurrent properties of (a) one or more functional groups having the ability to chelate, (b) one or more functional groups having the ability to inhibit action of free radicals, and (c) substantial insolubility to vinyl chloride monomer and insoluble to water. The concurrent presences of these functional characteristics syngergistically act to prevent scale adhesion onto the surfaces after substantial numbers of repeated polymerization charges.
