Abstract
A clear thermoplastic blend comprises from about 25 to about 90 percent by weight of low flow polycarbonate resin having a MVR (Melt Viscosity Rate) of from about 1 to about 7 cc/10 min at 300° C./1.2 kg and from about 10 to about 75 percent by weight of a polyester resin derived from the condensation of a cyclohexanedimethanol or equivalent thereof alone or with an ethylene glycol or equivalent thereof with a terephthalic acid or equivalents thereof or a combination of terephthalic acid and isophthalic acid or equivalents thereof.
Claims19
A composition comprising a clear thermoplastic blend of:
- (a) from about 25 to about 90 percent by weight of low flow polycarbonate resin having a MVR ranging from about 1 to about 9 cc/10 min at 300° C./1.2 kg;
- (b) from about 10 to about 75 percent by weight of a polyester resin derived from the condensation of a cyclohexanedimethanol or equivalent thereof alone or with an ethylene glycol or equivalent thereof with a terephthalic acid or equivalents thereof or a combination of terephthalic acid and isophthalic acid or equivalents thereof, and
- (c) a styrene-acrylic copolymer having multiple epoxy groups.
A composition comprising clear thermoplastic blend comprising:
- (a) from about 25 to about 90 percent by weight of low flow polycarbonate resin having a MVR (Melt Viscosity Rate) of from about 1 to about 9 cc/10 min at 300° C./1.2 kg;
- (b) from about 10 to about 75 percent by weight of a polyester resin derived from the condensation of a cyclohexanedimethanol or equivalent thereof alone or with an ethylene glycol or equivalent thereof with a terephthalic acid or equivalents thereof or a combination of terephthalic acid and isophthalic acid or equivalents thereof,
- (c) a styrene-acrylic copolymer having multiple epoxy groups in an amount ranging from about 0.05 to about 1.0 wt % of the blend;
- (d) an additive selected from the group consisting of antioxidants, thermal stabilizers, mold release agents, antistatic agents, whitening agents, colorants, plasticizers, minerals, supplemental reinforcing fillers, flame retardants, pigments, additional resins, and combinations thereof.
A composition comprising a clear thermoplastic blend of:
- (a) from about 50 to about 80 percent by weight of low flow polycarbonate resin having a MVR ranging from about 1 to about 9 cc/10 min at 300° C./1.2 kg;
- (b) from about 20 to about 50 percent by weight of a polyester resin derived from the condensation of a cyclohexanedimethanol or equivalent thereof alone or with an ethylene glycol or equivalent thereof with a terephthalic acid or equivalents thereof or a combination of terephthalic acid and isophthalic acid or equivalents thereof, and
- (c) a styrene-acrylic copolymer having multiple epoxy groups, the styrene-acrylic copolymer present ranging from about 0.05 to about 1 wt % of the blend;
- wherein the low flow polycarbonate resin and the polyester resin are present in proportions to form a clear blend having a transmission of seventy percent or greater and an elongation at break after exposure to organic material of 65% or greater;
- and
- wherein the blend exhibits low color shift after gamma radiation.
