Abstract:
1. A thermoplastic polymeric material comprising at least one inorganic metal phosphate of the formula having a Sherrer crystallite size of from 0.001 to less than or equal to 2 μm, Me x (PO 4 ) y (OH) z , wherein Me is an element selected from the group consisting of Cu, Fe, Mn, Sb, Zn, Ti, Ni, Co, V, Mg, Bi, Be, Al, Ce, Ba, Sr, Na, K, Ge, Ga, Ca, Cr, In and Sn, wherein the inorganic metal phosphate optionally contains a water of crystallization, wherein x and y are whole numbers; and x is from 1 to 18; y is from 1 to 1; and z is from 0.2 to 10, wherein the thermoplastic material has a high infrared absorption such that the transparency in the visible wavelength range of from 400 to 700 nm is not significantly impaired and the absorption in the wavelength range of from 700 to 1500 nm is significantly higher than in the visible range, and wherein if the inorganic metal phosphate is Ca
