Zusammenfassung:The invention relates to a method for producing polyesters with a reduced content of free acetaldehyde from terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol via a catalyzed polycondensation in the melt and also the use of this method. The method is based thereby on the usage of highly active polycondensation catalysts, on the deactivation of these catalysts by the addition of phosphorous-containing inhibitors and the addition of acetaldehyde-bonding substances. The entire polycondensation is thereby implemented at temperatures beneath 280° C.
