Abstract
Moulding materials reinforced with fiber fillers and based on copolyesters of poly-1,4-butylene terephthalate are suitable for the manufacture of mouldings, especially those having thin walls, which have low tendency to distortion.
Claims7
A reinforced moulding composition which is based on a thermoplastic polyester and contains (a) a copolyester which is based on poly-1,4-butylene terephthalate and has a crystallisation temperature (T.sub.C) of 35.degree. to 70.degree. C and an amount, which produces this T.sub.C range, of one or more cocomponents which are selected from the group comprising orthophthalic acid, isophthalic acid, 4,4'-diphenylsulphonedicarboxylic acid, 2,2-bis-[4-(hydroxyethoxyphenyl)]-propane, 1,3-bis-hydroxyethyl-5,5-dialkyl-hydantoin, 1,3,3-trimethyl-5-carboxy-3-(p-carboxyphenyl)-indane and 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol and (b) 2-60% by weight, relative to the total composition, of a reinforcing fibrous filler.
