Abstract
Abstract UV stable linear polyesters, e.g. polyethylene terephthalate, contain in their chain copolymerized 2-hydroxy-di(hydroxyalkoxy)benzophenone. The polyesters are useful for making biaxially oriented films. The polyesters can be made by polycondensation in the presence of 2,4,4'-trihydroxybenzophenone.

A method of making a linear polyester which has as its repeating unit: --O--Y--O--CO--X--CO-- wherein at least 80 mole % of the X groups represent p-phenylene and the remainder represent m-phenylene and at least 90% of the Y groups represent --CH 2 CH 2 -- and at least 0.1% of the Y groups represent esterification residues of the formula ##STR1## said method comprising polycondensing a glycol terephthalate precursor in the presence of 2,4,4'-trihydroxybenzophenone.
