Abstract: The invention relates to a composition obtainable by mixing polycarbonate, unsized talc and a specific anhydride-modified alpha-olefin polymer, wherein the amounts of the talc and the specific anhydride-modified alpha-olefin polymer are matched to one another such that, for every 10 parts by weight of the talc, 0.10 to 1.4 parts by weight of the anhydride-modified alpha-olefin polymer are used. It has been shown that in situ sizing of talc with the wax can minimize the degradation of the polycarbonate only in the course of mixing with the polycarbonate and, at the same time, properties such as multiaxial impact resistance and flowability can be improved.
