Abstract
Abstract A coextruded moisture resistant polycarbonate article has a relative thin moisture resistant, polyphthalate-carbonate layer adhered to a relatively thick aromatic polycarbonate corelayer. The coextruded article has the high degree of transparency of aromatic polycarbonates and the moisture resistance and haze resistance of polyphthalate-carbonate. Coextruded sheet and film of the present invention may be subsequently thermoformed without losses in the desirable properties thereof.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
36 words
A coextruded article consisting essentially of: (a) an aromatic polycarbonate core layer consisting of a polycarbonate resin derived from 2,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)propane and a carbonate precursor; and (b) a moisture resistant, polyphthalate-carbonate layer adhered to said core layer.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
36 words
A coextruded article consisting essentially of: (a) an aromatic polycarbonate core layer consisting of a polycarbonate resin derived from 2,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)propane and a carbonate precursor; and (b) a moisture resistant, polyphthalate-carbonate layer adhered to said core layer.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
31 words
The article of claim 1 wherein said core layer has a thickness of from 10 to 500 mils, and said polyphthalate-carbonate layer has a thickness of from 1 to 10 mils.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
72 words
The article of claim 2 wherein said polyphthalate-carbonate layer comprises a polyphthalate-carbonate resin prepared from a dihydric phenol, a carbonate precursor, a terephthalic acid or ester forming derivatives thereof, an isophthalic acid or ester forming derivatives thereof, said copolyphthalate-carbonate resin having from about 70 to about 95 weight percent ester content, said ester content being from about 2 to about 15 weight percent terephthalate and from about 85 to 98 percent isophthalate.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
45 words
A coextruded article consisting essentially of: (a) an aromatic polycarbonate core layer consisting of a polycarbonate resin derived from 2,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)propane and a carbonate precursor; and (b) two moisture resistant polyphthalate-carbonate layers adhered to said core layer, said core layer being located between said polyphthalate-carbonate layers.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
45 words
A coextruded article consisting essentially of: (a) an aromatic polycarbonate core layer consisting of a polycarbonate resin derived from 2,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)propane and a carbonate precursor; and (b) two moisture resistant polyphthalate-carbonate layers adhered to said core layer, said core layer being located between said polyphthalate-carbonate layers.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
33 words
The coextruded articles of claim 4 wherein said core layer has a thickness of from 10 to 50 mils, said polyphthalate-carbonate layers each having a thickness of from about 1 to 10 mils.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
72 words
The articles of claim 5 wherein said polyphthalate-carbonate layers comprises a polyphthalate-carbonate resin prepared from a dihydric phenol, a carbonate precursor, a terphthalic acid or ester forming derivatives thereof, an isophthalic acid or ester forming derivatives thereof, said copolyphthalate-carbonate resin having from about 70 to about 95 weight percent ester content, said ester content being from about 2 to about 15 weight percent terephthalate and from about 85 to 98 percent isophthalate.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
11 words
