Abstract
Poly(trimethylene terephthalate) composition particles comprising 80% by weight or more of trimethylene terephthalate units based on the entire repeating units, having an intrinsic viscosity from 0.8 to 2 dl/g, and satisfying the following conditions (a) to (c): (a) the composition particles have a particle size of 3 mm or less and a weight of less than 1 mg/particle; (b) the composition particles have a terminal carboxyl group content of 25 meq/kg or less; and (c) the composition particles have a cyclic dimer content of 1.5% by weight or less.
