Abstract: Reinforced polyamide composition stabilised against weather influences which contains: (a) 40 to 95 parts by weight of polyamide at least 50 wt % of which is semicrystalline polyamide; (b) 5 to 60 parts by weight of reinforcing material; (c) 0.05 to 4 parts by weight of at least of one organic UV stabiliser from the class of hindered amines; and (d) 0.1 to 5 parts of weight of carbon black with an average primary particle size of a least 30 nm.

Abstract: Process for preparing a moulding composition comprising melt-mixing of a thermoplastic polymer, a non-metallic inorganic filler and elementary iron having a weight average particle size of at most 450 ?m to form a composition wherein the thermoplastic polymer forms a continuous phase. The invention further relates to a composition obtainable with the inventive process, the use thereof for making moulded parts, as well as to moulded parts and the use thereof in applications wherein the moulded part is exposed to elevated temperature.
