Abstract

A polyglycol terephthalate is made by polymerizing an ester derived from terephthalic acid and a polymethylene glycol containing 2-10 carbon atoms in the presence of mono-ammonium phosphate, di-ammonium phosphate or mono-ammonium phosphite. The glycol ester is preferably made by effecting ester-interchange between a dialkyl terephthalate and the glycol and polymerizing the resulting glycol ester in the presence of an ester-interchange/polymerization catalyst comprising (a) metallic lithium, sodium, calcium or magnesium or a hydride, alcoholate or glycol-soluble monocarboxylic acid salt thereof, e.g. lithium glycolate or magnesium acetate, (b) a glycol-soluble salt of zinc, manganese or cadmium and a monocarboxylic acid, e.g. the acetate, lactate, salicylate, propionate, butyrate, valerate, stearate or laurate, or (c) antimony trioxide, antimonyl potassium tartrate, antimonous oxychloride, antimony trifluoride or sodium antimonyl hydroxyacetate. Part of the terephthalic acid may be replaced by isophthalic, bibenzoic, hexahydroterephthalic, adipic, sebacic, azelaic, naphthalic or 2 : 5-dimethylterephthalic acids or by bis-p-carboxyphenoxyethane. In examples, ester-interchange is effected between dimethyl terephthalate and ethylene glycol at 140-220 DEG C. in presence of lithium hydride, antimony oxide and zinc acetate or manganous acetate. The phosphorus compound is then added and poly-condensation of the bis-2-hydroxyethyl terephthalate effected at 230-290 DEG C. and 0.05-2.5 mm. of Hg. pressure. Films made from the above polymethylene terephthalates have improved dielectric properties and improved transparency. The films may be (a) stretched in two directions at right-angles to dimensions up to 3.25 times the original dimension of the film, (b) rolled in two directions at right-angles, (c) stretched in one direction and rolled in a direction perpendicular thereto, or (d) stretched in one direction only, e.g. to twice the original dimension. The extended film is then heat-set at 150-250 DEG C. whilst restricting dimensional change. To increase film slip, the film may be sprayed with an aqueous dispersion of bentonite and then passed through a dryer to remove water. Many uses are specified for the film, examples being for electrical insulation purposes, as a closure for containers and for encasing objects. Specification 578,079, [Group IV], and U.S.A. Specifications 2,728,790 and 2,784,457 are referred to.
