Abstract
Disclosed are polyester compositions having special utility in film or sheet form having improved gas and water barrier properties, and comprising homo- or copolyesters derived from terephthalic acid or mixtures of terephthalic acid with acids such as isophthalic, 2,6-naphthalene dicarboxylic, and the like, and a glycol component such as ethylene glycol or 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol, blended with from about 1 to about 30 weight % of certain bisphenols such as bisphenol-A, and naphthalene diols. Films or sheets of these compositions are characterized by having greatly reduced oxygen, carbon dioxide and water vapor permeabilities.
