摘要:
The present invention relates to a process for the production of poly(butylene terephthalate) comprising the steps of: (i) providing a poly(butylene terephthalate) oligomer having an intrinsic viscosity (IV) of 0.25 - 0.35 dl/g, a carboxylic end group (CEG) content of 25-35 mmol/kg, and a ratio of IV: CEG of ≤ 15 dl/mmol; (ii) introducing said poly(butylene terephthalate) oligomer to a low-pressure reactor; and (iii) performing a polycondensation reaction in said low-pressure reactor by subjecting the poly(butylene terephthalate) oligomer to a pressure of ≥ 0.05 and ≤ 5.0 mbar at a temperature of 235 to 255 °C, for such average residence time to obtain a poly(butylene terephthalate) having a ratio of IV: CEG of ≥ 18 dl/mmol, preferably ≥ 25 dl/mmol and having an IV of ≥ 0.45 dl/g; wherein steps (i), (ii) and (iii) are conducted in that order. Such process allows for the production of poly(butylene terephthalates) having a desired low CEG at given, desired high, IV using a poly(butylene terephthalate) oligomer having a relatively high CEG at given IV. Such process allows for the production of poly(butylene terephthalates) using poly(butylene terephthalate) oligomers obtained from an esterification process using PTA and 1,4-butanediol.

摘要:
Disclosed are improved processes for making high molecular weight polybutylene terephthalate resin. The PBT resin has a number average molecular weight of 30000 and 55000 g/mol, an IV of between 1.10 and 1.25 dl/g and a carboxylic acid end group concentration of between 35 and 70 mmol/kg. The PBT resin is prepared from PBT oligomers having an intrinsic viscosity of between 0.10 and 0.13 dl/g and a CEG of between 80 and 110 mmol/kg. The oligomers are prepared from purified terephthalic acid and 1,4-butane diol in the presence of a catalyst.
