Low-melting-point copolyester and method for preparing same

The invention relates to low melting point copolyester and a preparation method thereof. The low melting point copolyester is made from the following monomers followed by the esterification reaction and the polycondensation reaction: (a) terephthalic acid (PTA) and isophthalic acid (IPA), (b) 1, 4- butanediol (BDO) and (c) polyethylene glycol 600 to 6000 (PEG); wherein, in the a component, the feeding mass ratio of the terephthalic acid and the isophthalic acid is between 80 to 20 : 20 to 80; in the c component, the feeding weight ratio of polyethylene glycol is 1 to 30 percent based on the a; the molar ratio of the a and the b is 1:1.5 to 2.3. The preparation method comprises an esterifcation stage and a polycondensation stage. The copolyester has the characteristics of low melting point, good crystallization property, high intrinsic viscosity and difficult adhesion of particles, and is suitable for spinning the filament, the staple fibers and the non-woven fabrics.
