Embodiment 1

[0101] Using CAT-Method A, the catalyst zinc p-toluenesulfonate (TSAZ) (0.188g) was added to 300g with a viscosity of 0.197dL / g and 139eq / 10 6 g of COOH-terminated PET, in which PET is prepared by melt-phase polymerization without the use of catalysts. Using PF-Method-A, the PET / catalyst powder was granulated. Solid state polymerization was performed at 220 and 230°C using SSP-Method-A.

Embodiment 2

[0103] Using CAT-Method B, catalyst TSAZ (0.188g) was added to 300g with a viscosity of 0.178dL / g and 85eq / 10 6 g of COOH-terminated PET, in which PET is prepared by melt-phase polymerization without the use of catalysts. Using PF-Method-A, the PET / catalyst powder was granulated. Solid state polymerization was performed at 230°C using SSP-Method-A.

Embodiment 3

[0105] Using CAT-Method B, catalyst TSAZ (0.188g) was added to 300g with a viscosity of 0.210dL / g and 228eq / 10 6 g of COOH-terminated PET, in which PET is prepared by melt-phase polymerization without the use of catalysts. The PET / catalyst powder was granulated using PF-Method-A. Solid state polymerization was performed at 230°C using SSP-Method-A.

Abstract

This invention concerns a method for increasing the polymerization rate of polyester polymers in the solid state by adding a catalytic amount of zinc p-toluenesulfonate to a polyester polymer melt that is essentially free of antimony and germanium, before solid state polymerization.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority to co-pending US Utility Patent Application Serial No. 10 / 128,784, filed April 22, 2002, and US Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 60 / 343,564, filed December 21, 2001. Background of the invention [0003] The present invention relates to the use of zinc p-toluenesulfonate as a catalyst in the preparation of polyester polymers, more specifically, the present invention relates to a process for improving solid-state polyester polymerization by adding zinc p-toluenesulfonate to polymer melts The method of the polymerization rate of the substance. [0004] Some production processes of bottle-grade polyethylene terephthalate (PET) currently use antimony(III) oxide (about 250-280 ppm Sb) as a polymerization catalyst. Typically, these processes require polymerization for 24 hours or longer under solid state polymerization conditions in order to obtain the necessary high intrinsic viscosit...
