Abstract

Abstract A stabilized polyalkylene terephthalate resin composition is disclosed. The polyalkylene terephthalate resin composition comprises a polyalkylene terephthalate resin selected from the group consisting of polypropylene terephthalate and polybutylene terephthalate, 2 to 60 percent of the total composition of a reinforcing filler and up to below 1 percent by weight of the total composition of a polyamide, preferably polycaprolactam. The composition retains a higher degree of tensile strength after high temperature long-term aging than does any polyalkylene terephthalate composition of the prior art.
