Patent ID: 7955533

Claim:
A process for forming a shaped article, comprising: (A) melt blending (i) a first component comprising at least one polyester comprising: (a) diacid residues comprising the residues of terephthalic acid, isophthalic acid, or combinations thereof; and (b) diol residues comprising the residues of 1,4-cyclohexane-dimethanol; and (ii) a second component comprising a homogeneous, transamidized blend of at least two polyamides; wherein said first component (i) and said second component (ii) form an immiscible blend, said second component (ii) and said first component (i) have a difference in refractive index, RI(second component)−RI(first component), of about 0.006 to about −0.0006, and said immiscible blend has a percent transmittance of at least 75%, and a haze of 10% or less; (B) forming a shaped article; (C) recovering a scrap polymer composition comprising said blended first and second components (i) and (ii); (D) grinding said scrap polymer composition to produce a polymer regrind; (E) optionally, drying said scrap polymer composition; and (F) combining said polymer regrind with said first and second components (i) and (ii) of step (A).
