Abstract:
A thermoplastic polycarbonate composition is disclosed, in various embodiments, having enhanced low-temperature ductility, UV resistance and/or fire- retardance characteristics. The composition comprises a polycarbonate, and a combination of an elastomer-modified graft copolymer and a polysiloxane- polycarbonate copolymer. The polycarbonate composition is useful for manufacture of electronic and mechanical parts, among others.
Abstract:
A polycarbonate composition is disclosed having zero or minimum halogen content, while also exhibiting improved fire-retardance and/or drip-resistant characteristics. The composition comprises an effective amount of a polycarbonate, an anti-dripping agent, an aromatic sulfone sulfonate, an aromatic sulfonate, a synergistic combination of an elastomer-modified graft copolymer and a polysiloxane-polycarbonate copolymer, and an optional siloxane oligomer. The polycarbonate composition is useful for manufacture of electronic and mechanical articles, among others.
Abstract:
A composition is disclosed having minimum halogen content, fire-retardance and/or drip- resistant characteristics. The composition comprises an effective amount of a polycarbonate, a glass fiber, a polysiloxane-polycarbonate copolymer, and a synergistic combination of an aromatic sulfone sulfonate such as potassium diphenylsulfone sulfonate with an aromatic sulfonate such as sodium salt of toluene sulfonic acid, optionally in the presence of an anti-drip agent. The polycarbonate composition is useful for manufacture of electronic and mechanical articles, among others.
Abstract:
Disclosed are thermoplastic compositions comprising a polycarbonate, a polyester, an impact modifier, a melt viscosity modifier, and optionally other additives. A good balance of flowability and mechanical properties is obtained by controlling the amount of the melt viscosity modifier. The compositions and the molded article of this invention are suitable to be used as electric/electronic devices parts, automotive parts, machine parts, etc.
