Abstract
Abstract A polyolefin plastic composition having improved transparency is provided which comprises a polymer selected from aliphatic polyolefins and copolymers containing at least one aliphatic olefin and one or more ethylenically unsaturated aliphatic comonomers, and a di-acetal of sorbitol in an amount sufficient to improve transparency; said di-acetal of sorbitol having the structure: ##STR1## wherein R, R 1 , R 2 , R 3 and R 4 are selected from hydrogen, lower alkyl, hydroxy, methoxy, mono- and di-alkylamino, nitro and halogen, with the proviso that at least one of R 1 , R 2 , R 3 and R 4 is chlorine or bromine.

Claim 4
Dependent Claim
25 words
The composition of claim 1, wherein said aliphatic monoolefin is selected from the group consisting of ethylene, propylene, copolymers of ethylene and propylene, and 1-butene.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
17 words
The composition of claim 1, wherein said di-acetal is provided in said polymer in substantially pure form.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
