Abstract: The invention relates to a polymer mixture based on the (meth)acrylate (co)polymer components a), b), c), and/or d) according to claim 1, where a test specimen produced from the polymer mixture simultaneously has the following properties: I. a tensile modulus (ISO 527) of at least 2600 MPa, II. a Vicat softening point VSP (ISO 306-B50) of at least 109° C., III. an impact strength (ISO 179-2D, flatwise) of at least 17 kJ/m2, and IV. a melt index MVR (ISO 1133, 230° C./3.8 kg) of at least 1.5 cm3/10 min. The invention further relates to injection mouldings and to the use of the polymer mixture for producing injection-moulded parts.

Abstract: A thermoplastic composition contains a polycarbonate resin, an aromatic vinyl copolymer, an impact modifier and a mineral filler, wherein the composition has a lightness L* of greater than or equal to about 70 under one or more of CIE D65, CWF-2 or C illumination using a 2° observer at 360 to 750 nanometers (nm), including specular components. Alternatively, a thermoplastic composition may contain a polycarbonate resin, a vinyl aromatic copolymer, an impact modifier and a mineral filler, and less than or equal to about 400 parts per million iron, by weight of the composition. An article may be formed by molding, extruding, shaping or forming such a composition to form the article.
