Abstract

A thermoplastic molding composition is disclosed. The composition that contains at least one member selected from the group consisting of aromatic polycarbonate and polyester carbonate, a rubber-modified vinyl (co)polymer, and calcium carbonate having average particle diameter of less than 100 nm is particularly suitable for making articles resistant to hydrolysis.

Claims (22)

1. A thermoplastic molding composition comprising

A) at least one member selected from the group consisting of aromatic polycarbonate and polyester carbonate,

B) rubber-modified vinyl (co)polymer,

C) calcium carbonate having average particle diameter of less than 100 nm.

2. The composition according to claim 1 further comprising at least one member selected from the group consisting of

D) phosphorus-based flame retardant,

E) antidripping agent, and

F) conventional functional additives.

3. The composition according to claim 1 containing

20 to 98 parts by weight of A,

1 to 80 parts by weight of B and

0.01 to 5 parts by weight of calcium carbonate having an average particle diameter of less than 100 nm,

wherein the total of all parts by weight amounts to 100.

4. The composition according to claim 1 comprising 20 to 98 parts by weight of A, 1 to 80 parts by weight of B,

0.01 to 5 parts by weight of calcium carbonate having an average particle diameter of less than 100 nm, 1 to 30 parts by weight of a phosphorus compound as flame retardant,

wherein the total of all parts by weight amounts to 100.

5. The composition according to claim 1 comprising

20 to 98 parts by weight of A, 1 to 80 parts by weight of B, 0.01 to 5 parts by weight of calcium carbonate having an average particle diameter of less than 100 nm,

1 to 30 parts by weight of phosphorus compound as flame retardant

and up to 1 part by weight of an antidripping agent, wherein the total of all parts by weight amounts to 100.

6. The composition according to claim 1 comprising 20 to 98 parts by weight of A, 1 to 80 parts by weight of B, 0.01 to 5 parts by weight of calcium carbonate having an average particle diameter of less than 100 nm, 1 to 30 parts by weight of a phosphorus compound as flame retardant, up to 1 part by weight of an antidripping agent, and up to 20 parts by weight of conventional functional additive or further polymer components wherein the total of all parts by weight amounts to 100.

7. A molded article comprising the composition of claim 1 .
