Abstract
Abstract Self-extinguishing reinforced molding compositions based on aromatic polycarbonates and containing from 0.5 to 15% by weight, based on the weight of polycarbonate, of red phosphorus and a reinforcing agent such as glass fibers or glass spheres or a filler such as asbestos. The molding compositions are suitable for processing to shaped articles.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
62 words
Self-extinguishing reinforced organic polycarbonate molding compositions comprising: a. an organic polycarbonate; b. from 0.5 to 15% by weight of particulate red phosphorus based on the weight of the polycarbonate, said red phosphorus having an average particle diameter of from 0.001 to 0.5 mm; and c. from 5 to 50% by weight of a reinforcing agent based on the weight of the polycarbonate.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
62 words
Self-extinguishing reinforced organic polycarbonate molding compositions comprising: a. an organic polycarbonate; b. from 0.5 to 15% by weight of particulate red phosphorus based on the weight of the polycarbonate, said red phosphorus having an average particle diameter of from 0.001 to 0.5 mm; and c. from 5 to 50% by weight of a reinforcing agent based on the weight of the polycarbonate.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
22 words
Self-extinguishing compositions as set forth in claim 1 wherein said red phosphorus has a particle diameter of from 0.01 to 0.15 mm.
