A process for reducing diethylene glycol formation in polyethylene terephthalate includes (a) subjecting a mixture of bis(2-hydroxyethyl)terephthalate with aromatic polycarboxylic acid to an esterification reaction, and (b) subjecting the esterification reaction product to polycondensation.

Process for reducing diethylene glycol formation in polyethylene terephthalate

A process for preparing bis(2-hydroxyethyl) terephthalate, comprising a step of: subjecting ethylene oxide and terephthalic acid in a molar ratio of from 2:1 to 3:1 to a reaction at an elevated temperature in the presence of a solvent mixture containing water and a C-Chydrocarbon in a weight ratio of from 1:1 to 3:1.

Process for preparing bis(2-hydroxyethyl) terephthalate

The present disclosure provides a method of manufacturing bis(2-hydroxyethyl) cyclohexane-1,4-dicarboxylate (BHCD) and derivatives thereof. The method includes the following steps. A first reactant including bis-hydroxyethyl terephthalate (BHET) is provided. 2-(2-hydroxyethoxy)ethyl 2-hydroxyethyl terephthalate (BHEET) is added to the first reactant including BHET to form a second reactant. The second reactant is hydrogenated.
