A sufonic composition comprising a partially esterified and partially ester-exchanged first organic sulfonic acid and a metal salt of a second organic sulfonic acid with a glycol is disclosed. Also disclosed are a sulfopolyester containing the sulfonic composition and a process to produce such sulfopolyester, which has lower melt viscosity and better water solubility compared with a sulfopolyester containing only the commonly used sodium dimethyl 5-sulfoisophthalate. |
