A PROCESS FOR PREPARING NONFIBER-FORMING LINEAR POLYESTER HAVING A MAXIMUM FREE DICARBOXYLIC ACID CONCENTRATION OF 0.3 PERCENT BY WEIGHT AND HAVING A MOLECULAR WEIGHT RANGING FROM 800 TO 8,000 STARTING WITH A FREE DICARBOXYLIC ACID COMPRISING HEATING AT A TEMPERATURE OF AT LEAST 170*C. (A) A DICARBOXYLIC ACID CONSISTING ESSENTIALLY OF AN ALIPHATIC ACID HAVING FROM 4 TO 12 CARBON ATOMS AND (B) A DIHYDROXY COMPOUND CONTAINING FROM 2 TO 20 CARBON ATOMS CONSISITNG ESSENTIALLY OF AN ALIPHATIC GLYCON IN THE PRESENCE OF FROM 0.001 TO 5% BY WEIGHT BASED ON (A) AND (B) OF A CATALYST COMPOSITION SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISITNG OF (A) BASIC ALUMINUM ACETATE AND SODIUM ACETATE, (B) BASIC ALUMINUM ACETATE AND LITHIUM ACETATE, (C) STANNOUS OXALATE AND LITHIUM ACETATE, (D) STANNOUS OXALATE AND SODIUM ACETATE, AND (E) DIBUTLY TIN OXIDE AND SOLDIUM ACETATE, THE PROPORTION OF THE SECOND CONSTITUENT IN EACH OF THE CATALYST COMPOSITIONS BEING FROM 25% TO 50% WEIGHT OF THE FIRST CONSTITUENT.
