Abstract
A wholly aromatic polyester resin composition contains: (1) a wholly aromatic polyester resin, (2) at least one member selected from a glass fiber and a silica-alumina fiber, (3) glass beads, (4) titanium oxide, and (5) a fluorocarbon polymer The wholly aromatic polyester resin composition has high heat resistance and mechanical strengths, low anisotropy and excellent appearance, and shows low dissolution of components, excellent releasability and non-tackiness. It can be molded into an ovenware.
Claims16
A wholly aromatic polyester resin composition comprising:
- (1) 40-79.5% by weight of a wholly aromatic polyester resin having:
- (A) at least one repeating unit selected from the group consisting of:
- ##STR6## (B) at least one repeating unit selected from the group consisting of:
- ##STR7## and (C) at least one repeating unit selected from the group consisting of:
- ##STR8## wherein X is --O--, --SO.sub.2 --, --S-- or --CO--, m and n are independently 0 or 1,
- wherein the numerical ratio of the repeating unit (A) to the repeating unit (B) ranges from 1:1 to 10:1, and the numerical ratio of the repeating unit (B) to the repeating unit (C) ranges from 9:10 to 10:9;
- (2) 5-25% by weight of at least one fibrous reinforcing agent selected from the group consisting of a glass fiber and a silica-alumina fiber;
- (3) 10-40% by weight of glass beads;
- (4) 5-25% by weight of titanium oxide;
- and
- (5) 0.5-10% by weight of fluorocarbon polymer with totally fluorinated terminals which polymer gives a flow temperature of 350.degree. C. or below when the flow temperature is defined as a temperature at which the polymer melted by heating at a temperature elevation rate of 4.degree. C./min gives a melt viscosity of 48,000 poises when extruded through a nozzle of 1 mm in inside diameter and 10 mm in length under a load of 100 kg/cm.sup.2, using a capillary rheometer having said nozzle, the total content of the components (2) to (5) in the composition falling within the range of 20.5-60% by weight, provided that the wholly aromatic polyester resin composition is wollastonite-free.
