The invention provides compositions and methods for imparting a translucent optical effect to transparent thermoplastic polymers. The compositions comprise the thermoplastic polymer and 0.01 to 15 parts per hundred by weight (preferably 0.1 to 6, more preferably 0.2 to 5 parts by weight, even more preferably 0.5 to 2 parts by weight, and most preferably 0.5 to 1.5 parts by weight) of at least one particulate, light diffusing material in the form of powders, fibers, whiskers, platelets, flakes, aggregates, agglomerates, and mixtures of these, comprising a average maximum particle size of from about 0.1 microns to about 200 microns (preferably from about 1 to about 100 microns). A first embodiment of the invention comprises a one step method for imparting the translucent optical effect. A second embodiment comprises a two step method, including the use of a concentrate composition. The translucent optical effects are obtainable in a continuum of very smooth to very grainy, depending on the type and concentration of the particles employed.

An entire molded, extruded or formed polymer product having a translucent optical appearance, consisting of a substantially homogeneous composition that comprises: 0.1 to 15 parts by weight of a substantially homogeneous mixture that comprises: (i) 40 to 90 parts by weight of a carrier agent that is finely ground, finely flaked or finely pelletized, or a mixture thereof, wherein the carrier agent is selected from the group consisting of a first transparent thermoplastic polymer, a first near transparent thermoplastic polymer, a dispersing agent, and mixtures thereof, wherein the dispersing agent is selected from the group consisting of silicone waxes, fatty acids, metallic salts, ionomer waxes, amide waxes, hydroxy stearates, olefinic waxes, and mixtures thereof; and (ii) 10 to 60 parts by weight of boron nitride; and 85 to 99.9 parts by weight of a second polymer selected from the group consisting of transparent and near transparent polymers, and mixtures thereof, that are chemically compatible with the carrier agent. 8. The polymer product of claim 7, wherein the boron nitride is in a form selected from the group consisting of powders, fibers, whiskers, platelets, flakes, aggregates, agglomerates, and mixtures thereof. 9. The polymer product of claim 7, wherein the substantially homogeneous composition further comprises a flow enhancing compound. 10. The polymer product of claim 9, wherein the flow enhancing compound is selected from the group consisting essentially of fumed silica, precipitated silica, and mixtures thereof. 11. The polymer product of claim 9, wherein the substantially homogeneous composition comprises about 0.1 to about 7 parts by weight of the flow enhancing compound. 12. The polymer product of claim 7, wherein the boron nitride comprises an average maximum particle size of from about 0.1 microns to about 200 microns.
