Abstract
A process for the continuous production of high molecular weight polyethylene terephthalate wherein the granular polymer having an intrinsic viscosity of at least 0.4 is crystallized, dried and polymerized in the solid phase by polycondensation. Two methods of crystallization are described which aid the process in overcoming problems associated with sticking in the polymerization stage. The method is characterized by polycondensation at a temperature greater than the crystallization temperature.
