MANUFACTURE OF TEREPHTHALIC ACID COPOLYAMIDES

A process for the copolymerization of (1) a carboxylic acid consisting of terephthalic acid and mixtures thereof with isophthalic acid with (2) a mixture of hexamethylene diamine and 2-methyl pentamethylene diamine. The combined amount of isophthalic acid and 2-methyl pentamethylene diamine is contr...

Zusammenfassung:A process for the copolymerization of (1) a carboxylic acid consisting of terephthalic acid and mixtures thereof with isophthalic acid with (2) a mixture of hexamethylene diamine and 2-methyl pentamethylene diamine. The combined amount of isophthalic acid and 2-methyl pentamethylene diamine is controlled so that the resultant copolyamide, when annealed, has less than 1 %~by weight based on the total weight of the copolyamide of fractions having melting points greater than 320 .degree.C. Preferably, the combined amount of isophthalic acid and 2-methyl pentamethylene diamine is greater than 27.5 %, molar basis, of the total amount of acid and diamine.
