Compositions comprising polyethylene terephthalate and an additive to promote crystallization rate and improve surface appearance selected from the group consisting of monomeric esters of citric acid and epoxidized esters of unsaturated aliphatic carboxylic acids. Compositions comprising polyethylene terephthalate, poly (C.sub.4 -C.sub.6) terephthalate, and a surface appearance and crystallization rate improving additive selected from the group consisting of monomeric esters of citric acid, organic esters of an aromatic carboxylic acid of 7 to 11 carbon atoms containing at least one carboxyl group per aromatic nucleus and an alcohol, oligomeric polyesters, and epoxidized esters of unsaturated aliphatic carboxylic acids.
Composition comprising polyethylene terephthalate and from about 1 to about 10% by weight of an additive, based on polyethylene terephthalate and additive, said additive being present to promote crystallization rate and improve surface appearance, said additive being selected from the group consisting of monomeric esters of citric acid and epoxidized esters of unsaturated aliphatic carboxylic acids.
Composition comprising polyethylene terephthalate, poly (C.sub.4 -C.sub.6) terephthalate, and a surface appearance and crystallization rate improving additive in an amount of from about 1 to about 15% of said additive based on polyethylene terephthalate, poly (C.sub.4 -C.sub.6) terephthalate, and additive, said additive being selected from the group consisting of monomeric esters of citric acid, organic esters of an aromatic carboxylic acid of 7 to 11 carbon atoms containing at least one carboxyl group per aromatic nucleus and an alcohol, oligomeric polyesters, and epoxidized esters of unsaturated aliphatic carboxylic acids.
