Abstract
Abstract The invention relates to thermoplastic polycarbonate molding compounds containing polycarbonates, copolymers, phosphorus compounds, tetrafluoroethylene polymers and, optionally, graft polymers and also further additives and other thermoplastics and also stabilizers, pigments, flow aids, mold release agents, antistatic agents and/or other flameproffing agents, characterized in that they contain as phosphorus compounds those corresponding to formula (I) <IMAGE> (I) and to a process for the production of the polycarbonate molding compounds.
