Plasticized polycarbonate composition

Abstract

A plasticized polycarbonate composition comprising in admixture a high molecular weight aromatic carbonate polymer and a minor amount of an organic plasticizer, said organic plasticizer being represented by the following general formula: ##STR1## wherein R and R.sub.1 are independently selected from the group consisting of C.sub.1 to C.sub.30 alkyl, aryl of 6 to 14 carbon atoms and substituted aryl wherein the substituents on said substituted aryl are C.sub.1 to C.sub.30 alkyl, halogen, C.sub.1 to C.sub.30 alkoxy, aryloxy of 6 to 14 carbon atoms, alkylthio of 1 to 30 carbon atoms and arylthio of 6 to 14 carbon atoms; R.sub.2 is C.sub.1 to C.sub.30 alkylene, arylene of 6 to 14 carbon atoms, alkarylene of 7 to 30 carbon atoms, aralkylene of 7 to 30 carbon atoms and ##STR2## wherein W is selected from the group consisting of: (a) --O--; (b) --S--; ##STR3## wherein X and Y are independently selected from the group consisting of halogen and C.sub.1 to C.sub.12 alkyl.
