  • Polymeric materials
    Patent number: 10081717
    Abstract: (A) a polymer composition (especially a polyester composition) which includes a compound of tungsten and oxygen (especially tungsten oxide particles) and an additional additive, wherein said additional additive is selected from an acetaldehyde scavenger and a colourant, wherein when said polymer composition includes an acetaldehyde scavenger, said polymer composition includes at least 10 ppm (suitably at least 25 ppm, preferably at least 50 ppm) of said acetaldehyde scavenger and when said polymer composition includes a colourant, said polymer composition includes at least SOpprh (suitably at least 75 ppm, preferably at least 100 ppm) of said colourant, wherein: preferably said article is a preform for a container; or (B) a sheet comprising a polymer composition (especially a polyester, polycarbonate or polyolefin composition) which includes a compound of tungsten and oxygen (especially tungsten oxide particles), wherein said sheet has a width of at least G.3 m.

  • Method of reducing acetaldehyde in polyesters, and polyesters therefrom
    Patent number: 8710128
    Abstract: Acetaldehyde production in a polyester may be reduced by using a formulation which comprises an acetaldehyde scavenger and a phosphorous additive. The two materials appear to act synergistically in reducing acetaldehyde production. Preferred formulations comprise anthranilamide and phosphorous acid and are used in combination with aluminium or titanium catalysed PET resins.
