Abstract

Disclosed is an acidolysis process for preparation of terephthalate, isophthalate, hydroquinone type polyesters wherein the acidolysis process is conducted within a critical temperature range. Use of the critical temperature range provides a polyester with a low enough apparent melt viscosity to be prepared in commercial, gravity flow reactors.
