Claim 1
Independent Claim
35 words
Polycarbonates based on diphenols, characterized in that they comprise from 0.001 to 0.4% by weight, relative to the weight of polycarbonate, of an additive selected from the group consisting of aldehyde-bisulphite adducts and ketone-bisulphite adducts.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
35 words
Polycarbonates based on diphenols, characterized in that they comprise from 0.001 to 0.4% by weight, relative to the weight of polycarbonate, of an additive selected from the group consisting of aldehyde-bisulphite adducts and ketone-bisulphite adducts.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
25 words
The polycarbonates of claim 1, characterized in that they comprise from 0.01 to 0.25% by weight, relative to the weight of polycarbonate, of said additive.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
25 words
The polycarbonates of claim 2, characterized in that they comprise from 0.05 to 0.15% by weight, relative to the weight of polycarbonate, of said additive.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
73 words
The polycarbonates of claim 1, characterized in that they comprise an aldehyde- or ketone-bisulphite adduct of the formula (I) ##STR11## wherein Me is an alkali metal and n is 1, or Me is an alkaline earth metal and n is 2, x is 1 to 4 and R denotes H, alkyl, cycloalkyl, alkenyl, cycloalkenyl, aryl or aralkyl radical, and wherein R' is R or a polyfunctional radical of a polyketone or a polyaldehyde.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
