Abstract
Abstract Molding composition comprising from 10 to 50 wt.% of the polycondensation product of 2,2'-bis(4-hydroxycyclohexyl) propane or a halogenated derivative thereof, and maleic or fumaric acid, having a melting point above 70° C, an acid value of less than 50 and a Gardener viscosity from Y to Z 3 , from 0.2 to 2 wt.% of an organic peroxide which decomposes at a temperature above 70° C, and an inert filler. The resulting molded articles are particularly useful in the electrical and electronic fields.
