ABSTRACT:
A process for making a transparent blow molded product made of a copolyester of PET and PEN that does not thermally deform at temperatures up to 85-87 C., and the product of that process, especially a transparent blow molded bottle. The copolyester is made by transesterifying a 20/80 (w/w) PEN/PET via melt extrusion at a temperature of from about 250 C. to about 290 C. for a time sufficient to produce about 1-20% transesterification of said polymers, forming a copolymer. The copolyester is then injection molded at a temperature of from 290 C. to about 320 C. to form a transparent preform in which the copolymer has a glass transition temperature of about 85 C. or higher and a melting point temperature of at least about 225 C. The copolymer is then thermo-stretch blow molded to form a transparent product.
