Abstract
The present invention relates to the use of a fatty acid ester as a slip additive in the production of molded polyethylene terephthalate articles, to a thermoplastic molding composition comprising a polyethylene terephthalate and a fatty acid ester selected to be effective for reducing the co-efficient of friction of molded articles formed from the composition, to a molded polyethylene terephthalate article comprising a fatty acid ester selected to be effective in reducing the co-efficient of friction of the molded article, and to a process for producing a molded thermoplastic article comprising providing a thermoplastic molding composition comprising polyethylene terephthalate, admixing with the thermoplastic molding composition at least one fatty acid ester selected to be effective in reducing the co-efficient of friction of the molded article, heating the composition and molding the hot composition so as to form a molded article.
