A polyester composition which comprises a composite oxide (A) comprising titanium as an essential element and at least one metal element selected from among aluminum, zirconium, germanium, tin and silicon in an amount of 0.5 to 300 ppm in terms of titanium atom, and particles having an average particle diameter of 0.01 to 10 νm in an amount of 0.001 to 40 wt.%; a method for producing the same; and a film comprising the polyester composition. The present invention can be employed to provide a polyester composition which is excellent in molding processability and heat resistance and thus, in the production of a molded article such as a fiber, a film and a bottle, is free from problems such as staining of a mouthpiece, increase in filter pressure and yarn breaking. The film is suitable for packaging, is excellent in keeping good taste and in storing for a long period of time, and can be suitably used in fabricating an article for packaging, especially a laminate containing a substrate made of paper, non-woven fabric or metal and a container.

The component B is preferably dispersed in glycol, etc., to be used as a raw material for the component A, slurrying the mixture and directly adding the slurry to the polymerization reactional system or kneading the slurry into the polyester. The component B, e.g. aluminum oxide, is produced by subjecting aluminum successively to alkylation, hydrolysis and thermal decomposition.
