Copolyester-carbonates containing aliphatic diol co-monomers

Abstract

Copolyester-carbonate resins, and articles molded therefrom, exhibiting improved processability comprising the reaction product of; (i) at least one dihydric phenol; (ii) a carbonyl halide carbonate precursor; (iii) at least one difunctional carboxylic acid or a reactive derivative thereof; and (iv) at least one bishaloformate represented by the general formula ##STR1## wherein X represents a halogen radical and R represents an alkylene radical, said bishaloformate being present in an amount effective to improve the processability of said resin.
