Abstract

Colored unsaturated polyesters having copolymerized therein lignin and lignin derivatives which condense during polymerization into the polyester chain are disclosed. The lignin moieties are thermally stable at the polymer processing temperature and are nonextractable from the polymer making these colored polyesters suitable for use in bathroom fixtures, boats, certain automotive applications and the like.
