Abstract: Dark-colored thermoplastic molding compositions are disclosed. The compositions are suitable for making molded parts which in the wavelength region from 700 to 1200 nm are laser-transmitting, at least in spectral partial regions, and may be welded to laser-absorbing molded parts by means of laser transmissions welding.

Abstract: A composition containing a graft polymer based on acrylonitrile/ethylene propylene rubber/styrene (AES) and an additive is disclosed. The additive is one which increases the “?soft phase” of the composition making it possible to produce moldings with improved toughness at low temperatures, without substantially changing the melt volume rate.

Abstract: A glass fiber reinforced thermoplastic molding composition suitable for the preparation of articles having good surface properties is disclosed. The composition contains a resinous blend and a filler component. The resinous blend contains (i) 20 to 50 wt. % of a grafted acrylate rubber, (ii) 2 to 10 wt. % of a first copolymer containing structural units derived from styrene (meth)acrylonitrile and maleic anhydride, (iii) 20 to 80 wt. % polyamide, and (iv) 0 to 40 wt. % of a second copolymer containing structural units derived from styrene and (meth)acrylonitrile, the percents being relative to the total amount of (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv). The filler component of the inventive composition contains 1 to 29 percent of milled glass fibers, in combination with 1 to 29 percent of chopped glass fibers, the percent being relative to the weight of the molding composition. Optionally, the inventive composition also contains a positive amount of a wollastonite.
