Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to titanium dioxide-containing, polycarbonate-based thermoplastic compositions that contain metal oxide-containing mica. The metal oxide-containing mica may be provided in very low amounts. The titanium dioxide-containing polycarbonate-based thermoplastic compositions are suitable for reflectors. The addition of mica results in improved reflectance values as compared to the same mixtures without mica component.
Claims15
A thermoplastic composition, containing
- A) 44% by weight to 96.999% by weight of aromatic polycarbonate,
- B) 3.0% by weight to 30.0% by weight of titanium dioxide, and
- C) metal oxide-coated mica,
- wherein
- an amount of component C is 0.001% by weight to 0.15% by weight,
- wherein reported amounts are in each case based on the total weight of the thermoplastic composition.
A method for improving a reflectance of a titanium dioxide-containing polycarbonate composition comprising providing thereto a metal oxide-coated mica.
