Abstract

Polytrimethylene terephthalate is prepared in a process which includes adding a hindered phenol and an aromatic organophosphite to the polymerization reaction mixture. The process generates a reduced level of acrolein and prepares an improved polyester product compared with processes without the phenol and organophosphite additives.
