  • Patent number: 8791189
    Abstract: A thermoplastic composition comprises, based on the total weight of the composition: 51-90 wt % polyester, 10-49 wt % ABS impact modifier; 0-20 wt % of multifunctional epoxy compound; 0-40 wt % filler; 0-2 wt % fibrillated fluoropolymer; and more than 0 to 5 wt % of a stabilizer composition. An article blow molded or injection molded from the composition has a multi-axial impact total energy from 30-100 Joules at ?30° C. and a ductility of more than 90%; a permeability of more than 0 and less than or equal to 1.5 g/m2-day to ASTM D 471-98 Fuel C, measured after exposure to ASTM D 471-98 Fuel C vapor for 20 weeks at 40° C.; an MVR of 1-20 cc/10 min., measured at 265° C.; a flexural modulus of greater than 1300 MPa; and retains at least 75% of its initial tensile elongation at break, after exposure to Fuel E85 for 28 days at 70° C.

  • Patent number: 8592523
    Abstract: A composition of matter comprising an article derived from a composition containing: a. from about 30 to 80 wt. % of a polycarbonate component, b. from about 5 to about 50 wt. % of a polyester component, wherein when polybutylene terephthalate is present in the composition, the polybutylene terephthalate is present in conjunction with at least one other polyester that is not polybutylene terephthalate; c. about 2 to about 25 wt. % of an impact modifier; and d. a gloss reducing effective amount of a multifunctional additive comprising at least one epoxy group. The invention also includes injection molding processes, thermoforming processes for making articles.
