Abstract

Polyesters are prepared from dihydroxyl-containing compounds and di-carboxylic acids or anhydrides or lower alkyl esters thereof in the presence of a combination of tin catalysts comprising (1) at least one organotin salt of a carboxylic acid, and (2) either (a) at least one organotin oxide, or (b) at least one organostannoic acid, or (c) a combination of (a) and (b). The polyesters prepared by this process are useful in coating, adhesive, fiber and molding applications.
