Abstract
Abstract Melt-stable polyacetal molding compositions include a polyacetal base resin, and a carbon black-impregnated ethylenic carrier polymer in amounts to yield between about 0.1 to 30 parts by weight of carbon black. The ethylenic carrier polymer is preferably present in an amount between 0.3 to 8 times by weight of the carbon black impregnated therewithin. The compositions of this invention further contain a co-stabilization package which includes a first stabilizer selected from nitrogen-containing compounds, fatty acid ester compounds, and metal-containing compounds which contain a hydroxide, an inorganic acid salt or a carboxylic acid salt of an alkali metal or an alkaline earth metal, and a second stabilizer which is a hindered phenolic compound. Preferably, the first and second stabilizers are each used in amounts between 0.01 to 5 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of the polyacetal base resin.
