Embodiment 1

[0166] Example 1 - Copolyester-Ether (COPE) Preparation

[0167] Preparation of the base resin copolyester-ether (COPE) using continuous polymerization: terephthalic acid (PTA) and monoethylene glycol were carried out in a primary esterification reactor at 250-260 °C and atmospheric pressure in the presence of titanium catalyst C94 Direct esterification of diol (EG) with a slight molar excess of ethylene glycol (approximately 1.10:1 EG:PTA molar ratio). Add about 35% by weight based on final copolyester-ether polymer weight after esterification PTMEG 1400 and the mixture was stirred for about 1 hour. will later 4050 was added to the esterification reaction mixture and polycondensation started shortly thereafter.

[0168] In the polycondensation step, removal of ethylene glycol under reduced pressure was initiated, and the final polycondensation temperature was in the range of 255-260°C. The final polycondensation pressure is about 1 mbar. Excess ethylene glycol was di...

Embodiment 2

[0172] Example 2 -Cobalt stearate masterbatch (Co-MB) preparation

[0173] The PTA-based polymer as used herein is a commercial polyethylene terephthalate (PET) polyester product from INVISTA Resins and Fibers under the product designation " Polyester 7090". Prepared according to a similar direct esterification method as described in Example 1 Polyester 7090. The PET polymer resin was dried at 150-160°C under vacuum with dry air (<-30°C dew point) for 4-6 hours to a residual moisture content of 50 ppm (maximum).

[0174] Cobalt stearate, sodium stearate (or sodium acetate), magnesium stearate and suitable colorant dyes are added directly in the melt extrusion step. The melt extruder used was a co-rotating, 27 mm extruder screw diameter with a screw length to diameter (L:D) ratio of 36:1, eg a Leistritz Micro 27 36D melt extruder. The polymer processing rate was about 8 kg / hr. The step-by-step operating temperature is: room temperature water (T 0 ), 230°C (T 1 ), 254°...

Embodiment 3

[0176] Example 3 (a-e) - Cobalt stearate masterbatch (Co-MB) with different metals

[0177] The Co-MB composition of Example 3 was prepared according to the method described in Example 2. Individual metal compounds are added to the composition to obtain various metal levels in the final composition. Table 2 below represents Co-MB compositions prepared according to the present disclosure. Table 2 also presents the measured intrinsic viscosity (IV) data for the prepared final Co-MB compositions comprising different metals in ppm by weight measured relative to the final Co-MB composition content.

[0178] Table 2

[0179]

[0180] In Table 2, the cobalt metal level was maintained at about 2250 ± 150 ppm by weight, with the exception of Example 3(e), where the cobalt metal level was almost doubled to 4290 ppm by weight relative to the final Co-MB composition. Individual Mg and Na levels were varied by adjusting individual metal compounds in the Co-MB preparation.

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to masterbatch compositions used for preparing articles, preforms or containers comprising a base polyester, a transition metal-based oxidation catalyst, an alkali metal compound, and an alkaline earth metal compound. The masterbatch compositions have desirable viscosity characteristics and the prepared articles, preforms or containers using these masterbatch compositions have desirable mechanical, visual and gas barrier properties.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims the priority filing date of European Patent Application Serial No. 14179890.0 filed 05.08.2014, the disclosure of which is specifically incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] The present disclosure relates to novel polyester-ether resin compositions comprising a masterbatch concentrate comprising at least a polyethylene terephthalate polymer and an alkali metal. These resin compositions exhibit improved IV and oxygen barrier properties and are useful in the manufacture of polyester articles, preforms and containers. Background technique [0004] Polyester has replaced glass and metal packaging materials due to their lighter weight, reduced breakage compared to glass, and potentially lower costs. However, a major drawback of standard polyesters is their relatively high gas permeability. This shortens the shelf life of carbonated soft drinks and oxygen-sensit...
