Polyesters and polyester containers having a reduced coefficient of friction
and improved clarity are produced using an antiblock agent comprising a dried talc
having from about 20 to about 300 ppm water or a fatty acid tethered talc. The
use of these talcs results in polyesters and polyester containers having a coefficient
of less than about 1.0 and a clarity with haze values of less than about 4%.
