Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
90 words
A composition which consists essentially in admixture a. a major amount of aromatic carbonate polymer; b. a minor amount of a rubber-elastic graft copolymer acrylate resin having a glass transition temperature below about -20° C., which is sufficient to impact modify the aromatic carbonate polymer; c. a minor amount of an aliphatic hydrocarbon of molecular weight less than about 1,000 which is sufficient to impact modify the composition of a and b at low temperatures, the quantity of a above about 90 weight percent of components a, b and c.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
90 words
A composition which consists essentially in admixture a. a major amount of aromatic carbonate polymer; b. a minor amount of a rubber-elastic graft copolymer acrylate resin having a glass transition temperature below about -20° C., which is sufficient to impact modify the aromatic carbonate polymer; c. a minor amount of an aliphatic hydrocarbon of molecular weight less than about 1,000 which is sufficient to impact modify the composition of a and b at low temperatures, the quantity of a above about 90 weight percent of components a, b and c.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
17 words
