  • Patent number: 4704424
    Abstract: Various type A zeolites can be combined with thermoplastic materials to provide antiblock and improved optical properties to films or sheets of said thermoplastic. The zeolites are of less than full hydration, and at least a portion of the sodium is replaced with multivalent ions such as calcium and magnesium. The zeolites can also be acid treated to provide zeolites that contain hydronium ions.
