Abstract
Abstract Disclosed are polyesters composed of 1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid, terephthalic acid and 1,4-butanediol, wherein the 1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid is within a critical range of about 25 to about 58 mole percent. These polyesters exhibit desirable adhesive properties.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
70 words
A polyester having an inherent viscosity of at least 0.4 measured at 25° C. using 0.50 gram of polymer per 100 ml. of a solvent composed of 60 volumes of phenol and 40 volumes of tetrachloroethane consisting essentially of A. a dicarboxylic acid component which is 1. about 25 to about 58 mole percent 1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid, and 2. about 75 to about 42 mole percent terephthalic acid, and B. 1,4-butanediol.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
70 words
A polyester having an inherent viscosity of at least 0.4 measured at 25° C. using 0.50 gram of polymer per 100 ml. of a solvent composed of 60 volumes of phenol and 40 volumes of tetrachloroethane consisting essentially of A. a dicarboxylic acid component which is 1. about 25 to about 58 mole percent 1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid, and 2. about 75 to about 42 mole percent terephthalic acid, and B. 1,4-butanediol.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
