Polymeric Materials

摘要

There is described the use of an acetaldehyde decreasing compound in a thermoplastic composition which comprises: (i) a polyester; and (ii) at least one property improving material selected from a compound containing an amino moiety, a nano clay and/or a quaternary ammonium compound; for reducing the degree of discolouration and/or increasing the degree of light transmission of an article formed from the thermoplastic composition. A preferred acetaldehyde decreasing compound is anthranilamide.
