  • Patent number: 8945695
    Abstract: PET resins containing a small amount of a blue dye and/or further containing inorganic particles of Fe3O4 or BaSO4 are synthesized in the presence of an inorganic Ti—Mg catalyst employed as a polycondensation catalyst and a phosphorus stabilizer during a polycondensation process, and the resultant PET resins are free of yellowish appearance and reduced regenerated acetaldehyde and cyclic oligomers after processed so that PET bottle preforms if made of the PET resins can facilitate reduction in aging time thereby to improve the product yield of the bottle preforms and to save the stock space for storing the bottle preforms.

  • Patent number: 8648166
    Abstract: An antimony-free PET resin produced by using an inorganic Ti—Mg catalyst and a small amount of blue and red dyes, in the absence of an antimony catalyst or a phosphorus stabilizer; and, in a melt spinning process for producing PET polyester fiber, the PET resin demonstrates excellent spinnability but no yarn breaks or aggregation of TiO2 delustering agent so that the resultant PET polyester fiber features commercially desired in both color tone and glossiness. Especially the PET resin and the PET polyester fiber containing no antimony are therefore environmentally friendly by causing no heavy metal pollution to the environment.
