Disclosed is a flame-retardant polyester polymer dyeable with a cationic
dye, a method of producing the same, a copolyester fiber using the same,
and fiber products using the copolyester fiber. In the method, after a
dimethyl isophthalate component containing metal sulfonate of Formula 2
separately reacts with ethylene glycol so that an extent of the ester
interchange reaction is 95% or more to synthesize bis(hydroxyethyl
terephthalate) containing metal sulfonate of Formula 3, bis(hydroxyethyl
terephthalate) is fed so that a content of bis(hydroxyethyl
terephthalate) is 0.01-5 mol % based on a diacid component in a polymer
in a course of producing polyester, a phosphorus-based flame retardant of
Formula 1 is fed so that a content of a phosphorus atom is 500-40000 ppm
based on the polymer, and the mixture is copolymerized. The polyester
polymer is dyeable with cationic dye while having excellent flame
retardancy, and can be melt-spun like other polymers capable of being
melt-spun. The copolyester fiber using the polyester polymer is capable
of being processed according to processes through which conventional
polyester fibers are processed, and is dyeable with cationic dye while
having excellent flame retardancy.
