Abstract
Abstract A polycarbonate resin composition comprising as main components (A) 100 parts by weight of a polycarbonate resin, (B) 0.3 to 10 parts by weight of a polyethylene resin, (C) 0.3 to 10 parts by weight of an elastomeric acrylic graft copolymer resin composed of a crosslinked acrylic copolymer containing not less than 3% by weight of butadiene as a comonomer and being free from ethylene as a trunk polymer and, grafted thereto, at least one grafting monomer selected from the group consisting of styrene, alkyl acrylates and alkyl methacrylates, and (D) 0.3 to 10 parts by weight of an isobutylene copolymer rubber composed of a major amount of isobutylene and a minor amount of isoprene, the total amount of (B), (C) and (D) being 2 to 20 parts by weight.
