THERMOPLASTIC RESIN AND MOLDED ARTICLE MANUFACTURED USING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18032496 titled 'THERMOPLASTIC RESIN AND MOLDED ARTICLE MANUFACTURED USING THE SAME

Simplified Explanation

- The patent application describes a thermoplastic resin composition that includes a combination of different materials in specific ratios. - The composition includes a base resin made of a polyalkylene terephthalate and a polycarbonate, which are both types of thermoplastic materials. - An impact modifier with a core-shell structure is added to improve the toughness and impact resistance of the composition. - A halogenated epoxy-based flame retardant is included to enhance the fire resistance properties of the resin. - A compatibilizer is added to improve the compatibility between the different components of the composition. - A transesterification inhibitor is included to prevent unwanted chemical reactions during the processing of the resin. - The resulting thermoplastic resin composition has a high melt flow index, indicating good processability during molding. - It also has a high WOM value, which is a measure of its resistance to heat and flame according to UL 746C (f1 Class) standards. - The composition is suitable for producing molded articles with excellent mechanical strength, flame retardancy, hot water resistance, and weather resistance.


Original Abstract Submitted

The present disclosure provides a thermoplastic resin composition including a base resin (A) including a polyalkylene terephthalate and a polycarbonate, an impact modifier (B) having a core-shell structure, a halogenated epoxy-based flame retardant (C), a compatibilizer (D), and a transesterification inhibitor (E) in a predetermined content ratio, wherein the thermoplastic resin composition has a melt flow index (250° C., 5 kg) of 7.0 g/10 min or more and has a WOM value of 70% or more as measured according to UL 746C (f1 Class), and a molded article including the thermoplastic resin composition. The thermoplastic resin composition of the present disclosure may have excellent mechanical strength, molding processability, flame retardancy, hot water resistance, and weather resistance.
