Copolyesters
Copolyesters covers polyesters made using more than one diol or diacid structural component. Polyester chains contain ester linkages; thermoplastic pellets and reactive hydroxyl- or carboxyl-functional resins are distinct supply forms.

Product & engineering
Understand the product.
Copolyester forms when modifications are made to polyesters, which are combinations of diacids and diols in the polymerization process. For example, by introducing other diacids, such as isophthalic acid (IPA), or other diols, such as cyclohexane dimethanol (CHDM) to the polyester polyethylene terephthalate (PET), the material becomes a copolyester due to its comonomer content.
The distinguishing feature is polyesters made using more than one diol or diacid structural component. Separate melt-processable pellets from reactive polyols and coating resins before comparing viscosity. For pellets, drying and intrinsic viscosity affect processing. For reactive resins, functionality and equivalent balance determine network formation. Equal mass does not mean equal reactive equivalents or the same finished properties.
What turns activity into demand
Molding and extrusion consume pellets; reactive coatings and polyurethane systems consume resins according to solids and functional equivalents.
The commercial boundary
Separate polymer mass, formulated solids and solvent. Pellets, polyols and coating resins are different transaction forms.
Can polyester feedstocks be substituted on the family name alone?
