Abstract: Compositions of compatibilized blends of polyamides in polyesters, methods and resins for forming such compositions, and containers made from such compositions which higher burst pressure, crystallization at higher temperatures during production and reduced haze as compared to than containers made from previous blends are disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel polymer compositions and their use in polyolefin resins. Films and rigid or semi-rigid articles made from these novel polymer compositions provide improved oxygen and/or carbon dioxide barrier protections, optical appearance and/or mechanical properties.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a polyester composition comprising a diacid component and a diol component, wherein the diacid component comprises: i) isophthalic acid present at a concentration in the range of from about 23 mole % to about 30 mole % of the total diacid, and ii) terephthalic acid; and wherein the diol component comprises: i) diethylene glycol present at a concentration in the range of from about 1.1 mole % to about 3.5 mole % of the total diol, and ii) ethylene glycol. Other embodiments of the present invention include a film produced from the polyester composition and processes for producing the film.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an aromatic polyester composition for making stretch blow molded containers with improved strain hardening. The polyester composition according to the invention exhibits a low DEG content, a natural stretch ratio of <10, a half time of crystallization of >150 sec at 200° C. and comprises a sulfo-modified copolymer. Compared to polyesters of the prior art, the polyester of the present invention exhibits superior stretching characteristics, such as a lower natural stretch ratio (NSR), which allows for production of small PET bottles via thinner and longer parisons. Such thinner and longer parisons improve the production of small containers due to shorter cooling cycles.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a parison and container made from an aromatic polyester composition with improved strain hardening. The polyester composition exhibits a low DEG content, a natural stretch ratio of <10, a half time of crystallization of >150 sec at 200° C. and comprises a sulfo-modified copolymer. The invention further relates to a process for making small volume containers. Compared to polyesters of the prior art, the polyester of the present invention exhibits superior stretching characteristics, such as a lower natural stretch ratio (NSR), which allows for production of small PET bottles via thinner and longer pansons. Such thinner and longer pansons improve the production of small containers due shorter Cooling cycles.

Abstract: A polyester with a carbon black content of up to 20% by weight, based on the polyester, is condensed, after transesterification of DMT with diol, or after esterification of terephthalic acid with diol, with the aid of a titanium-based catalyst. The carbon black is added in the form of a carbon black dispersion together with the polycondensation catalyst to the transesterification product or esterification product. The carbon black dispersion comprises gas black or furnace black and a dispersing agent, and these are dispersed in diol. The diameter of the carbon black particles is below that of carbon black particles in a polyester using an antimony compound as catalyst.
