Abstract
A polymeric composition containing a polyacetal resin in conjunction with a blend of metal salts for reducing formaldehyde emissions. In one embodiment, the blend of metal salts comprises a metal salt of a fatty acid blended with a metal salt of a polycarboxylic acid. The metal salt of the fatty acid may comprise calcium propionate, while the metal salt of the polycarboxylic acid may comprise calcium citrate. The metal salts have been found to reduce formaldehyde emissions, especially when the composition contains a low gloss additive, such as acrylic polymer particles.
