Abstract

Abstract A molding additive composition comprising a mixture of a low profile additive and a surfactant additive containing a silicon-oxyalkylene copolymer flow control agent and surface modifying agent; and a molding composition comprising a polyester molding resin, a low profile additive, and a silicon-oxyalkylene copolymer flow control agent and surface modifying agent. A desirable ingredient of the compositions of the invention is a crosslinking monomer. In its most favorable embodiment, the invention embraces a molding composition comprising a polyester molding resin, a crosslinking monomer, a low profile additive, a reinforcing fiber, and a silicon-oxyalkylene copolymer flow control agent and surface modifying agent.
