    Abstract: A thermoplastic composition includes: a polycarbonate polymer component; an intrinsically conductive/dissipative polymer or a blend thereof; a flame retardant; an antidripping agent; and an ultraviolet (UV) stabilizer. The thermoplastic composition may be colorable or dyeable. In an aspect, the thermoplastic compositions exhibit improved properties, including but not limited to flame retardancy, ultraviolet stability, temperature resistance, room temperature and low temperature impact properties, chemical resistance, electrostatic dissipative capability and radio transmission capability. Articles formed from the thermoplastic composition include personal protective equipment such as helmets. Methods for forming the thermoplastic compositions and articles formed therefrom are also described.
