    Abstract: A laser weldable composition comprising a polyester component, 5 to 50 weight percent of a filler; and 10 to 30 wt. % of a poly(ester-carbonate) copolymer comprising carbonate units and ester units of the formula (I) wherein: T is a C2-20 alkylene, a C6-20 cycloalkylene, or a C6-20 arylene; R1 and J are each independently (a) a bisphenol A divalent group, and (b) a C16 or higher divalent group (b1), (b2), or (b1) and (b2), wherein (b1) is a phthalimidine divalent group, and (b2) is a third divalent group, wherein the C16 or higher divalent group (b1), (b2) or a combination of (b1) and (b2) is present in an amount of 40 mol % to 50 mol % based on the total moles of the bisphenol A divalent groups and the C16 or higher divalent group; and the composition, when molded into an article having a 2.0 mm thickness, provides a near infrared transmission at 960 nanometers of greater than 50% and a thermal resistance according to HDT 1.8 MPa flat (ISO 75/Af) is greater than 160° C.
