Abstract
Disclosed is a polyether ester elastomer comprising a copolymer of (A) at least one aromatic dicarboxylic acid or an ester-forming derivative thereof; (B) at least one diol selected from the group consisting of an aliphatic diol and an alicyclic diol, each having 2 to 10 carbons; and (C) a polyoxytetramethylene glycol (PTMG) having a number average molecular weight of from 500 to 4000, a molecular weight distribution (Mw/Mn) of 2.0 or less, a content of high molecular weight PTMG molecules of 10% by weight or less, and a heteropolyacid content of from 10 to 900 ppb by weight, wherein the polyether ester elastomer contains PTMG units in an amount of from 10 to 90% by weight, based on the weight of the polyether ester elastomer.
