Thermoplastic Copolyesters Copolyester is applied to those polyesters whose synthesis uses more than one glycol and/or more than one dibasic acid. Copolyester chain is less regular than monopolyester chain and as a result has less crystallinity PCTA copolyester (Poly cyclo-hexane-dimethanol-terephthalate acid) [amorphous] Reaction includes cyclohexanedimethanol and terephthalic acid with another acid substituted for a portion of the terephthalic acid Extruded as transparent film or sheets that are suitable for packaging applications (frozen meats shrink bags, blister packages, etc..) Glycol-modified PET (PETG) [amorphous] Blow-molded containers, thermoformed blister packages. Specific TP Polyester Types Dacron fiber—mix with cotton or wool-gives permanent creases Kodel – photo film Mylar—transparencies, tapes PETG—glycol modified, amorphous, like PVC Properties of PET Properties of PBT Mechanical Properties of Polyesters Physical Properties of Polyester Processing PET Shape it (film, tape, fiber, extrude, etc) Amorphous structure Reheat and stretch in strength direction(s) Cool to below Tg Applications for Polyesters (PET) Blow molded bottles 100% of 2-liter beverage containers and liquid products Fiber applications 25% of market in tire cords, rope, thread, cord, belts, and filter cloths. Monofilaments- brushes, sports equipment, clothing, carpet, bristles Tape form- uniaxially oriented tape form for strapping Film and sheets photographic and x-ray films; biaxial sheet for food packages Molded applications- Reinforced PET [Rynite, Valox, Impet] luggage racks, grille-opening panels, functional housings such as windshield wiper motors, blade supports, and end bells sensors, lamp sockets, relays, switches, ballasts, terminal blocks Appliances and furniture oven and appliance handles, coil forms for microwaves, and panels -- pedestal bases, seat pans, chair arms, and casters Applications for Polyesters (PBT and LCP) PBT - 30 M lbs in 1988 Molded applicati
