Filed:

Feb 13, 2004

Appl. No.:

10/777172

Inventors:

Steven Lee Stafford - Gray TN, US
Ronald Richard Light - Kingsport TN, US
Louis Thomas Germinario - Kingsport TN, US

Assignee:

Eastman Chemical Company - Kingsport TN

International Classification:

C08K003/34

US Classification:

524451

Abstract:

Polyesters and polyester containers having a reduced coefficient of friction and improved clarity are produced using an antiblock agent comprising a dried talc having from about 20 to about 300 ppm water or a fatty acid tethered talc. The use of these talcs results in polyesters and polyester containers having a coefficient of less than about 1. 0 and a clarity with haze values of less than about 4%.

US Patent:

45784370, Mar 25, 1986

Filed:

Oct 19, 1984

Appl. No.:

6/662643

Inventors:

Ronald R. Light - Kingsport TN
Robert W. Seymour - Kingsport TN

Assignee:

Eastman Kodak Company - Rochester NY

International Classification:

C08L 6702

US Classification:

525444

Abstract:

Disclosed are polyester blends and articles produced therefrom, wherein the blends contain copolyester material comprising one or a mixture of copolyesters such as that prepared from ethylene glycol and 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol in certain molar proportions with terephthalic acid, blended in certain proportions with poly(ethylene isophthalate). Formed amorphous articles such as bottles, films and sheets of these blends unexpectedly are clear and show marked reduction in carbon dioxide permeability, e. g. , about 20-40% lower than predicted, and have good oxygen and water vapor barrier properties. The blends are especially useful in food packaging applications such as carbonated drink bottles, where good gas and water vapor barrier properties are highly desirable.

Appl. No.:

8/608021

Inventors:

Wayne K. Shih - Kingsport TN
Ronald R. Light - Kingsport TN

Assignee:

Eastman Chemical Company - Kingsport TN

International Classification:

D01F 102

US Classification:

264211

Abstract:

This invention relates to polyester/plasticizer blends which are useful as heat-shrinkable films or sheet in low temperature shrink packaging applications. The plasticizer is injected into the melt of the polyester. The plasticizer lowers the glass transition temperature, on-set temperature and shrink rate of the polyester. Film or sheet produced by the polyester/plasticizer blends is clear.
