Heat stabilized moulding composition

A thermostabilized thermoplastic moulding composition comprising:

• a) a thermoplastic polyamide composition which consists of a blend of at least two polyamides comprising:
• a1) at least 50 mass %, relative to the total mass of the thermoplastic polyamide composition, of a first polyamide (PA-1), being a semi-crystalline polyamide having a melting point Tm-1, or being an amorphous polyamide having a glass transition point Tg-1, wherein each of the melting point Tm-1 and the glass transition point Tg-1 is denoted as a temperature T-1 which is at least 200° C., and
• a2) an amount of 1-50 mass %, relative to the total mass of the thermoplastic polyamide composition, of a second polyamide (PA-2), with a C/N ratio of at most 7, being a semi-crystalline polyamide having a melting point Tm-2 or an amorphous polyamide having a glass transition point Tg-2, wherein each of the melting point Tm-2 and the glass transition point Tg-2 is denoted as a temperature T-2 which T-2 is at least 20° C. lower than the temperature T-1,
• b) a stabilizing system comprising a thermostabilizer which is at least one selected from the group consisting of phenolic thermostabilizers, organic phosphites, aromatic amines, metal salts of elements from Group IB, IIB, III or IV of the Periodic Table, metal halides of alkali or alkali earth metals, and combinations thereof, and
• c) 0.01-10 mass %, relative to the total mass of the thermoplastic polyamide composition, of iron oxide, wherein
• the moulding composition exhibits reduced deterioration when exposed to an elevated temperature of 230° C. for a prolonged time period of 1000 hours as compared to an identical moulding composition including a CuI/KI stabilization system but not including the iron oxide.
