Described as one aspect of the invention are extrusion blow molded articles comprising at least one polyester which comprises:

Copolyesters and blends with improved recyclability, processes for their manufacture, and articles prepared therefrom

Extrusion blow molded (EBM) articles comprising a polyester having a dicarboxylic acid component and a glycol component. The dicarboxylic acid component comprises at least 90 mole % terephthalic acid residues. The glycol component comprises at least 75 mole % ethylene glycol residues and 15 to 25 mole % residues of a difunctional glycol such as, for example, 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol. Such EBM articles can exhibit reduced haze, reduced sharkskin, and/or increased compatibility in PET recycling.

Extrusion blow molded articles

Extrusion profile articles comprising a polyester having a dicarboxylic acid component and a glycol component. The dicarboxlyic acid component comprises at least 90 mole % terephthalic acid residues. The glycol component comprises at least 75 mole % ethylene glycol residues and 15 to 25 mole % residues of a difunctional glycol such as, for example, 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol. Such extrusion profile articles can exhibit reduced haze, reduced sharkskin, and/or increased compatibility in PET recycling.
