ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE: A fast crystallising polyester wherein the polyester has an intrinsic viscosity of greater than 0.3 and at least 90 mole % of the repeating units of the polyester are residues obtained from aromatic diacids or hydroxyacids and aliphatic diols characterised in that at least some of the acid end groups of the polyester have the formula -Y-M+ where M is an alkaline metal ion and Y is an anion selected from carboxylate, sulphinate, phosphinate, phosphate, sulphonate, phosphite and borate ions, which ionised groups have been produced during polymerisation of the polyester by either: (a) copolymerising units derived from materials of formula X-R-Y-M+ wherein X is a group capable of being polymerised onto the polyester chain, R is an aliphatic, cycloaliphatic or aromatic group, or (b) polymerising the polyester in the presence of an alkaline metal salt or corresponding base, the concentration of groups of formula Y-M+ in the polyester being sufficient to reduce the crystallisation peak temperature on heating (Tn) by at least 5°C in comparison with the same polyester in the absence of the ionic groups. Preferably the alkaline metal is selected from lithium, sodium, potassium and calcium and the polyester contains at least 90 mole % of ethylene terephthalate units.
