Zusammenfassung:Bis-2-hydroxyethyl terephthalate which has undergone preliminary condensation to a low viscosity is polymerized to a high viscosity in apparatus comprising a substantially horizontal reaction tank having an inlet near each end for the starting material, an outlet near the middle of the tank for the reaction product, and agitating and advancing means for conveying the reaction mixture from the inlets to the outlets (see Division B1). In Examples 1 and 2, the reaction conditions are respectively: temperature 280 DEG C., 285 DEG C.; pressure 5 mm. Hg, 6 mm. Hg; average intrinsic viscosity of polymer obtained, measured in o-chlorophenol at 25 DEG C., 0.67, 0.64.
