A polyethylene terephthalate (PET) polymer having diacid units derived from diacid compounds, said diacid units comprising: a) from 92.50 mol % to 97.75 mol % of terephthalic units derived from terephthalic acid (TA) or an ester thereof, and b) from 2.25 mol % to 7.50 mol % of 2,5-FDCA units derived from 2,5- furandicarboxylic acid (2,5-FDCA) or an ester thereof, and-diol units derived from diol compound(s), the diol units having monoethylene glycol units derived from monoethylene glycol (MEG), as well as to a method to prepare a PET polymer. The use of a 2,5-FDCA compound selected from 2,5- furandicarboxylic acid (2,5-FDCA) and esters thereof as an anti-crystallization comonomer in a PET polymer and a bio-based PET polymer in which the anti-crystallisation comonomer is bio-based.

PET polymer with an anti-crystallization comonomer that can be bio-sourced

A method of making a bottle () made of at least one thermoplastic polymer of at least one FuranDiCarboxylic Acid (FDCA) monomer and at least one diol monomer, comprising the steps of:

Method of making a bottle made of FDCA and diol monomers and apparatus for implementing such method

A preform, which makes it possible to obtain PEF containers (bottles) having the awaited properties, notably mechanical, by an industrial injection stretch blow molding process, is of made of a thermoplastic PEF polymer of 2,5-FuranDiCarboxylic Acid (2,5-FDCA) monomer and monoethylene glycol (MEG) monomer and comprises a neck end, a neck support ring, and a closed tubular body portion. The preform is designed so as to produce, by injection stretch blow-molding, a container, the axial stretch ratio of which is greater than or equal to its hoop stretch ratio. Also provided is a plastic container, preferably a bottle, obtained by injection stretch blow-molding of PEF preform, the bottlehaving an axial stretch ratio greater than or equal to the hoop stretch ratio. A method for manufacturing the bottleis also provided.
