Abstract
A process for manufacture of articles comprised of polyethylene terephthalate wherein the PET is colored with a composition comprised of a wax dispersant, ethylene copolymer, and a colorant. In a preferred embodiment, the wax dispersant is a maleated polyethylene wax. In an alternative embodiment, the wax dispersant is a low molecular weight polyethylene wax and the composition further includes linear low density polyethylene. A preferred ethylene copolymer is ethylene-(meth)acrylic acid.
