Abstract

A thermoplastic molding composition characterized by its flame retardance and impact strength is disclosed. The composition contains (A) linear aromatic (co)polycarbonate, (B) a graft (co)polymer having core-shell morphology, the shell containing polymerized alkyl(meth)acrylate and the core containing interpenetrated and inseparable polyorganosiloxane and poly(meth)alkyl acrylate components, (C) a phosphorous-containing flame retardant compound, (D) fluorinated polyolefin and (E) a boron compound, and optionally SAN. The composition is further characterized in that it contains no polyalkylene terephthalate.

Claims (20)

1. A thermoplastic molding composition comprising

A) 50 to 95 percent linear aromatic (co)polycarbonate

B) 1 to 15 percent graft (co)polymer having a core-shell morphology, including a grafted shell that consists of polymerized alkyl(meth)acrylate and a composite rubber core that contains interpenetrated and inseparable polyorganosiloxane and poly(meth)alkylacrylate components, wherein the weight ratio of polyorganosiloxane/poly(meth)alkylacrylate/rigid shell is 70-90/5-15/5-15,

C) 2 to 20 percent phosphorous-containing flame retarding compound,

D) 0.1 to 2 percent fluorinated polyolefin and

E) 0.1 to 15 percent boron compound

said percent, all occurrences being relative to the total weight of A), B), C), D), and E), the composition characterized in that it contains no polyalkylene terephthalate.

2. The composition according to claim 1 , wherein said A) is present in an amount of 65 to 90 percent, B) is present in an amount of 3 to 12 percent, C) is present in an amount of 5 to 15 percent, D) is present in an amount of 0.2 to 1 percent and said E) is present in an amount of 1 to 7 percent.

3. The composition according to claim 1 , wherein said A) is a homopolycarbonate based on bisphenol A.

4. The composition of claim 1 wherein said weight ratio is 75-85/7-12/7-12.

5. The composition of claim 1 wherein said weight ratio is 80/10/10.

6. The composition of claim 1 wherein the rubber core is in particulate form having median particle she of 0.05 to 5 micron.

7. The composition of claim 1 , wherein said C) conforms to formula (IV)

wherein

R 1 , R 2 , R 3 and R 4 each independently of the others represents C 1-8 alkyl, or C 5 - 6 -cycloalkyl, C 6 - 20 -aryl or C 7-12 -aralkyl each optionally substituted by alkyl,

n independently of each other is 0 or 1,

q denotes 0.5 to 30, and

X is a mono- or poly-nuclear aromatic radical having 6 to 30 carbon atoms, or a linear or branched aliphatic radical having 2 to 30 carbon atoms, which may be OH-substituted and may contain up to 8 ether bonds.

8. The composition according to claim 1 further containing at least one member selected from the group consisting of styrenic copolymer, lubricant, mold-release agent, nucleating agent, antistatic, thermal stabilizer, hydrolytical stabilizer, light stabilizer, colorant, pigment, filler, reinforcing agent, flameproofing agent other than component C), and flameproofing synergist.

9. The composition of claim 1 wherein said boron compound is zinc borate.
