| Food Contact Substance: |
Copolymers and polymers made from the reaction of dimethyl terephthalate or terephthalic acid with a mixture containing 0 to 99 mole percent of ethylene glycol and 100 to 1 mole percent of 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol (70 percent trans isomer, 30 percent cis isomer). The copolymers may be branched with trimellitic anhydride (CAS Reg. No. 552-30-7) at levels up to 0.5 percent (by weight of the finished resin).
