Abstract
Abstract A copolyester having an intrinsic viscosity, measured in o-chlorophenol at 25° C., of 0.3 to 1.5 dl/g and being derived from dicarboxylic acid units composed of 95 to 60 mole % of isophthalic acid units and 5 to 40 mole % of 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid units and dihydroxy compound units composed of 95 to 70 mole % of ethylene glycol units and 5 to 30 mole % of 1,3-bis(2-hydroxyethoxy)benzene units; a gas barrier imparting agent composed of the copolyester; a polyester composition composed of (A) a polyethylene terephthlate and (B) the copolyester; and a film, a preform and a container composed of the polyester composition. Also provided are a polyester laminated structure, a stretched laminated structure, a preform and a laminated blow-molded article each composed of (C) a polyalkylene terephthalate layer and (D) a copolyester layer composed of the copolyester or the polyester composition.
