This polyester resin is produced from PTA and CHDM or NPG ( very
low quantity of PETG ) .

Is it possible to use other glycol or how is it possible to riduce
crystallization without CHDM and with same performance ?

Thanks

Yes. Anything to disrupt the crystalline structure of the PET, e.g. DEG,

IPA or branches.

Yes. Anything to disrupt the crystalline structure of the PET, e.g. DEG,
IPA or branches.

IPA and DEG are ok with 2 % , but crystallization is still very high .
To eliminate crystallization ( clear ,never completely)it's necessary
20/30% IPA or more and the performances are very low.

Thanks
