Abstract
Embodiments herein relate to a polymer film comprising an anti-blushing composition in a blend comprising polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polybutylene terephthalate (PBT); wherein the blend has an intrinsic viscosity above 0.75 and contains at least 50 wt. % of PBT; wherein the anti-blushing composition comprises a phosphorus containing compound but excludes certain phosphorus compounds; and wherein the anti-blushing composition is configured to prevent blushing in the polymer film laminated directly to a metal sheet and exposed to steam at a temperature of 260° F. for 90 minutes.

- bis(acetodeca)pentaerythritol diphosphite;
- and
- wherein the anti-blushing composition comprises dialkyl pentaerythritol di phosphonate, pentaerythritol phosphonate or combinations thereof;
- wherein the anti-blushing composition is configured to prevent blushing in the polymer film laminated directly to a metal sheet and exposed to steam at a temperature of 251° F. for 90 minutes, wherein the anti-blushing composition is about 0.01 wt. % to about 1 wt. % in the blend.
