In Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) processing the raw materials are purified terephthalic acid (PTA), moderately purified terephthalic acid (MTA), monoehalene glycol (MEG). The processing of PTA is very difficult and costly. For reducing PTA percent we are using different percentages of MTA blend in PET processing. MTA affected the properties of polyester and melt spinning process. The properties such as elongation, tenacity, molecular chain length, b-color and IV, thermal properties, % carboxyl groups will change with MTA percentage. MTA percentage also affects fiber breakage percentage s, the melting point of PET. FTIR results show a change in chemical composition. Particle size, 4-CBA content of MTA affects the properties of the fiber.
