Provided is a method of producing a masterbatch, in which a reduction in the viscosity of a polyester resin is inhibited and thereby a metal salt compound can be incorporated in a large amount. This method is a method of producing a masterbatch that comprises 0.4 to 10 parts by mass of at least one metal salt compound selected from the group consisting of metal benzoates, metal aliphatic carboxylates, metal aromatic phosphates, metal salts of sulfonamide compounds and metal salts of sulfonimide compounds with respect to 100 parts by mass of a polyester resin, wherein when the polyester resin and the metal salt compound are fed to an extruder and kneaded, the cylinder temperature of the extruder is controlled in a range of (the melting point of the polyester resin&#x2014;60&#xb0; C.) to (the melting point of the polyester resin&#x2014;10&#xb0; C.).

Process for producing masterbatch

The method of producing a masterbatch according to the present invention is a method of producing a masterbatch in which a metal salt compound is incorporated into a polyester resin, the method being characterized by comprising: a first step of obtaining a kneaded product by feeding the polyester resin and the metal salt compound to an extruder and melt-kneading the polyester resin and the metal salt compound; and a second step of, while continuing kneading after the first step, further feeding the polyester resin to the extruder and kneading the resulting mixture, wherein, in the first step, the polyester resin and the metal salt compound are fed at such a mass ratio that the amount of the metal salt compound is not more than twice the amount of the polyester resin; the total amount of the polyester resin fed in the first and second steps and the metal salt compound fed in the first step is, in terms of mass ratio, in the range of 2 to 20 times the total amount of the polyester resin and the metal salt compound that are fed in the first step.

Method for producing masterbatches

Provided in a method of producing a plastic bottle in which molding cycle is improved and a highly transparent plastic bottle rarely having a problem of discoloration such as whitening is produced. The method according to the present invention is a method of producing a plastic bottle comprising 0.005 to 0.025 parts by mass of a 1,2-benzisothiazol-3(2H)-one 1,1-dioxide compound with respect to 100 parts by mass of a polyester resin, the method comprising preparing a masterbatch containing 0.01 to 0.5 parts by mass of the above-described 1,2-benzisothiazol-3(2H)-one 1,1-dioxide compound with respect to 100 parts by mass of the polyester resin, subsequently mixing the masterbatch and polyester resin to produce a mixture, and molding the mixture into the shape of a bottle. Further, it is preferred that the above-described polyester resin be a polyethylene terephthalate resin.

Process for producing plastic bottle

The present invention provides a reinforced polyester resin composition, which comprises, with respect to 100 parts by mass of a polyester resin, 0.01 to 400 parts by mass of an inorganic filler as component (A) and 0.001 to 10 parts by mass of a metal salt of a sulfonamide compound as component (B), the metal salt of the sulfonamide compound having a structure represented by Formula (1): wherein Rand Rindependently represent a hydrogen atom or the like; Rand Rare also optionally linked together to form a cyclic group; n represents number of 1 or 2; when n is 1, M represents an alkali metal atom or the like; when n is 2, the plural Rs and Rs are each optionally different; M represents a divalent metal atom or linking group; and when M is the linking group, either of Rand Ris an alkali metal.

Reinforced polyester resin composition

The present invention provides a polyolefin-based resin composition containing a crystal nucleating agent having a specific structure, which polyolefin-based resin composition has a superior transparency and whose crystallization is facilitated. The polyolefin-based resin composition is characterized by comprising, with respect to 100 parts by mass of a polyolefin-based resin, 0.01 to 1 parts by mass of at least one crystal nucleating agent selected from the group consisting of crystal nucleating agents each having a structure represented by one of the following Formulas (1) to (6):
