FILM- AND FILAMENT-FORMING COLOR-STABLE POLYESTERS OR COPOLYESTERS OF DICARBOSYLIC ACIDS, SUCH AS TEREPHTHALIC, ISO-PHTHALIC, DIPHENYLDICARBOXYLIC AND ADIPIC ACIDS, AND A DIOL, SUCH AS ETHYLENE GLYCOL, 1,4-BIS (HYDROXY METHYL) CYCLOHEXANE AND BIS-PHENOL-A-DIGLYCOLETHER, ARE REACTED UNDER POLYMERIZING CONDITIONS IN THE ABSENCE OF OXYGEN AND IN THE PRESSURE OF A POLYMERIZATION CATALYST CONSISTING OF A MIXTURE OF (A) METALLIC ANTIMONY, (B) METALLIC LEAD, AND (C) METALLIC ZINIC. INSTEAD OF A DICARBOXYLIC ACID, A FUNCTIONAL, POLYESTER-FORMING DERIVATIVE THEREOF MAY BE USED, PREFERABLY THE DIMETHYL ESTER.
