Abstract
The invention relates to resin compositions comprising a) at least one amorphous semi-aromatic polyamide; b) at least two semi-crystalline polyamides, b1) and b2) and c) at least one glass reinforcement agent and shaped articles thereof showing a good balance of properties in terms of good mechanical properties, excellent surface appearance and reduced sink marks.
Claims8
A resin composition comprising:
- a) about 20 to about 50 wt-% of at least one amorphous semi-aromatic polyamide selected from the group consisting of poly(hexamethylene isophthalamide/hexamethylene terephthalamide);
- poly(hexamethylene isophthalamide/hexamethylene terephthalamide/4,4′bis(cyclohexyl)methane isophthalamide/4,4′bis(cyclohexyl)methane terephthalamide);
- poly(hexamethylene isophthalamide/4,4′bis(3,3′-dimethylcyclohexyl)methane isophthalamide/4,4′bis(3,3′-dimethylcyclohexyl)methane terephthalamide), poly(hexamethylene isophthalamide/hexamethylene terephthalamide/4,4′bis(3,3′-dimethylcyclohexyl)methane isophthalamide), poly(12-amidododecanamide/4,4′bis(3,3′-dimethylcyclohexyl)methane terephthalamide), poly(2,2,4-trimethylhexamethylene terephthalamide), poly(hexamethylene isophthalamide/hexamethylene terephthalamide/3-methyl-3,5,5-trimethylcyclohexyl isophthalamide/3-methyl-3,5,5-trimethylhexyl terephthalamide), and poly(caprolactam/2,2,4-trimethylhexamethylene terephthalamide/hexamethylene terephthalamide);
- b) about 10 to about 40 wt-% of at least two semi-crystalline polyamides, b1) and b2), wherein b1) is poly(hexamethylene adipamide) and is present in an amount from about 5 to about 20 wt-%, and b2) is selected from the group consisting of;
- poly(hexamethylene sebacamide);
- poly(hexamethylene dodecanoamide);
- poly(decamethylene sebacamide) and combinations thereof and is present in about 5 to about 20 wt-%;
- and
- about 10 to about 70 wt-%, of at least one glass reinforcement agent,
- wherein the weight percentages are based on the total weight of the resin composition.
