Hoechst Celanese improved PET

I ran across this article while researching PET modification:

Summary: The Ticona Division of Hoechst Celanese Corp has developed a modified PET which exhibits lower viscosity when molten, higher resilience at low temperatures, and generally more ductile failure modes.

This article was originally from 1998, but I can't find much else about this modification. There is mention in the article about a 15% glass content, but is glass alone sufficient to provide these enhanced qualities? Does anyone know what HCC used to make this product (Impet Hi 430)?

Thanks in advance, -- TTK
