This invention discloses a
polyester material, a heat-shrinkable film, its preparation method, and its applications. The raw materials for preparing the
polyester material include a diacid, a
diol, a chain
extender, a stabilizer, and a catalyst; wherein the diacid comprises: 90 mol%~95 mol% polyterephthalic acid and 5 mol%~10 mol%
isophthalic acid; the
diol comprises: 65 mol%~78 mol%
ethylene glycol, 18 mol%~28 mol% 1,4-cyclohexanediol, and 4 mol%~12 mol%
diethylene glycol; the chain
extender is 2,2'-(1,3-
phenylene)-dioxazoline, added in an amount of 0.2%~0.8% of the total
mass of the
diol and the diacid; the
molar ratio of carboxyl groups to hydroxyl groups in the diacid and the diol is 1:1~1.05. The
polyester material of this invention possesses excellent transparency,
shrinkage rate, and strength, and has a low initial shrinkage temperature, making it particularly suitable for applications such as heat-shrinkable films. This invention also provides a heat-shrinkable film, as well as the polyester material, a method for preparing the heat-shrinkable film, and their applications.
