Zusammenfassung: | Thermoplastic compositions include: a copolyester elastomer including a polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) moiety and an elastomer moiety; and from greater than 0.1 wt% to 9 wt% of at least one brightening agent. The PBT moiety includes PBT derived from post-consumer, pre-consumer or post-industrial recycled (PCR) polyethylene terephthalate (PET), and the thermoplastic composition has an L* color value of at least 80 as determined according to a CIELab color space standard. Methods for forming the copolymer elastomer and compositions including it are also described. |
