Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a polyester composition screening solar ultraviolet without adding undue color to the composition. SOLUTION: The ultraviolet absorption composition developed for the protection of packaging or container contents in the ultraviolet range of 290 nm to 390 nm and offering effective screening from all wavelengths of solar radiation is provided. A combination of an optical brightener with an ultraviolet absorber is found to provide effective screening without adding significant color to the polymer composition. This extended range of ultraviolet blocking over what can be achieved with ultraviolet absorbers alone is especially useful in food and drink packaging applications where the contents of the packages need ultraviolet protection to prevent discoloration or development of undesirable flavors.
