These compositions have an unobvious resistance to weathering.
Description
~6~34 This invention relates to polyester compositions which have a markedly enhanced resistance to weathering.
Broadly, these compositions can be thought of as an admixture of a stabilizer and a polyester. The stabilizer can be one of three specific types and the polyester can be one of three specific types.
The rirst polyester is compris2d of terephthalic acid, 1 to ;0 mole percent ethylene giycol, and 99 to 50 mole ?ercent 1,4-cvclohex~ne-dimelhar.ol .

These compounds and their preparation are well known in the art and are described in U.S. 3,706,701.
The compositions of this invention are described as "consisting e~sentially of" the polyester and the stabilizer. By this term we mean ~L1)5~6S3~
these polyesters can contain other materials as long as the unobvious weatherability properties are retained. For example, other dicarboxy'ic acids and diols could be used if the resulting polyester retains the unobvious weatherability properties of the polyester of the invention.
Examples of other dicarboxylic acids include isophthalic, adipic, azelaic, succinic, glutaric and 2,6-naphthalene dicarboxylic acid. Also, conven-tional additives for molded articles, such as antioxidants, other stabilizers, plasticizers, pigments, flame retardants, ar.d the llke can be incorporated into the composition of this invention as long as the polyester retains unobvious weatherability properties.
The polyesters useful in this invention have an inherent viscosity of at least 0.5, preferably at least 0.7 when measured at 25C. using 0.50 grams of polymer per 100 ml. of a solvent composed of 60 volumes of phenol and 40 volumes of tetrachloroethane.
The polyesters of this invention are broadly known and can be prepared by a variety of processes such as direct condensation, acidolysis, and ester interchange. Preferably the polyester is prepared by ester interchange where the dimethyl ester of terephthalic acid and the two glycols are reacted to form a mixture of the bis esters of the two glycois and the mixture of bis esters is polycondensed at high temperature and low pressure to form a high molecular weight polymer through elimin2t-0n of the two glycols.
In this invention the range of the other glycol besides 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol is broadly 1 to 50, preferably 5 to 40 mole per-cent. Obviously, the remaining moies of 1,4 cyclohexanedimethanol would be 99 to 50, preferably 95 to 60 mole percent.
The admixture of the polyester and the stabilizer can be for~ed using technology well known in the art. For example, pellets of the polyester can be coated with powdered stabilizer and extruded.
Preferably, the stabilizer is coextruded from the polymerization reactor ; wherein the polyester is formed.
Broadly, the amount of stabilizer can be an amount sufficient ~D9~iS34 to achieve enhanced weatherability. In one embodiment the amount cf stabilizer can be 0.1 to 5.0 weight percent, based on the weight of the polyester. Preferably, 0.25 to 2.0 weight percent can be used.
The polyester of this invention can be prepared into useful articles, such as window panes, by conventional extrusion equipment and procedures.
Broadly, these compositions can be thought of as an admixture of a stabilizer and a polyester. The stabilizer can be one of three specific types and the polyester can be one of three specific types.
The rirst polyester is compris2d of terephthalic acid, 1 to ;0 mole percent ethylene giycol, and 99 to 50 mole ?ercent 1,4-cvclohex~ne-dimelhar.ol .

The compositions of this invention are described as "consisting e~sentially of" the polyester and the stabilizer. By this term we mean ~L1)5~6S3~
these polyesters can contain other materials as long as the unobvious weatherability properties are retained. For example, other dicarboxy'ic acids and diols could be used if the resulting polyester retains the unobvious weatherability properties of the polyester of the invention.
Examples of other dicarboxylic acids include isophthalic, adipic, azelaic, succinic, glutaric and 2,6-naphthalene dicarboxylic acid. Also, conven-tional additives for molded articles, such as antioxidants, other stabilizers, plasticizers, pigments, flame retardants, ar.d the llke can be incorporated into the composition of this invention as long as the polyester retains unobvious weatherability properties.
The polyesters useful in this invention have an inherent viscosity of at least 0.5, preferably at least 0.7 when measured at 25C. using 0.50 grams of polymer per 100 ml. of a solvent composed of 60 volumes of phenol and 40 volumes of tetrachloroethane.
The polyesters of this invention are broadly known and can be prepared by a variety of processes such as direct condensation, acidolysis, and ester interchange. Preferably the polyester is prepared by ester interchange where the dimethyl ester of terephthalic acid and the two glycols are reacted to form a mixture of the bis esters of the two glycois and the mixture of bis esters is polycondensed at high temperature and low pressure to form a high molecular weight polymer through elimin2t-0n of the two glycols.
In this invention the range of the other glycol besides 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol is broadly 1 to 50, preferably 5 to 40 mole per-cent. Obviously, the remaining moies of 1,4 cyclohexanedimethanol would be 99 to 50, preferably 95 to 60 mole percent.
The admixture of the polyester and the stabilizer can be for~ed using technology well known in the art. For example, pellets of the polyester can be coated with powdered stabilizer and extruded.
Preferably, the stabilizer is coextruded from the polymerization reactor ; wherein the polyester is formed.
Broadly, the amount of stabilizer can be an amount sufficient ~D9~iS34 to achieve enhanced weatherability. In one embodiment the amount cf stabilizer can be 0.1 to 5.0 weight percent, based on the weight of the polyester. Preferably, 0.25 to 2.0 weight percent can be used.
The polyester of this invention can be prepared into useful articles, such as window panes, by conventional extrusion equipment and procedures.
