Abstract:
A method for reducing outgassing of a polyester composed of repeat units derived from 1,4-butanediol is melt blending the polyester with 0.2 to 2 weight percent water, based on the weight of the polyester. In addition to water, the polyester can also be blended with 0.01 to 0.5 weight percent of a quencher. The method results in formation of a polyester composition which exhibits reduced outgassing, and is suitable for molding into articles, for example an automotive headlight reflector or bezel.

Claim (Index 14):
The polyester composition of  claim 13 , further comprising 0.01 to 0.5 weight percent of a quencher selected from a compound of structure: or salt thereof; wherein Q and R are each independently a direct bond or O; wherein R 1  and R 2  are independently selected from H, \u2014OH, and substituted or unsubstituted C 1-20  alkyl, C 6-20  aryl, and poly(oxy C 2-4  alkylene); wherein a substituent, when present, is independently 1 or 2 in number on any of R 1  and R 2 , and are independently selected from \u2014OH, halogen, \u2014COOH, \u2014COOR 3  (wherein R 3  is C 1-4  alkyl) and \u2014NH 2 ; wherein R 1  and R 2  are optionally linked together by a C 2-20  hydrocarbylene bridge; and wherein q is 0 or 1.
