Abstract
Abstract Thermoplastic copolyester-carbonate resins are described, having included in their polymer chains, moieties of the formula: ##STR1## wherein R represents alkyl of from about 10 to 36 carbon atoms, inclusive, a and b are each whole number integers of from 0 to 1; and the sum of a+b is 1. The resins are useful as molding compositions and as mold release additives for polycarbonate and copolyester-carbonate molding compositions.

Claim 6
Dependent Claim
205 words
The resin of claim 1 which contains in the polymer chain repeating units of the formulae: ##STR13## wherein R is as defined in claim 1; A is selected from the group consisting of a divalent hydrocarbon containing from 1 to about 15 carbon atoms; a substituted divalent hydrocarbon radical containing from 1 to about 15 carbon atoms and substituent groups such as halogen; ##STR14## and wherein each X is independently selected from the group consisting of halogen, a monovalent hydrocarbon radical such as an alkyl group of from 1 to about 8 carbon atoms, an aryl group of from 6-18 carbon atoms, an aralkyl group of from 7 to about 14 carbon atoms, an oxyalkyl group of from 1 to about 8 carbon atoms, and an oxyaryl group of from 6 to 18 carbon atoms; and wherein m is zero or 1 and y is a whole number integer of from 0 to 4; z is an integer such that the ester moiety OR comprises 0.001 to 10 weight percent of the resin; and w is an integer such that w and z together are such that the resin has a weight average molecular weight in the range of from about 5,000 to about 200,000.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
70 words
A thermoplastically injection moldable, synthetic resin composition, which comprises; a polycarbonate resin; and an effective amount for mold-release of a mold-release additive selected from polyester-carbonate polymers containing in the polymer chain divalent moieties of the formula: ##STR15## wherein R represents alkyl of from about 10 to 36 carbon atoms, inclusive, a and b are each whole number integers of from 0 to 1; and the sum of a+b is 1.
