ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a carbonate polymer composition comprising (a) a carbonate polymer having a weight average molecular weight of from about 20,000 to about 40,000 and (b) from greater than about 0.1 to less than about 1.0 weight percent (based on carbonate polymer composition weight) low volatility aromatic phosphate ester compound, and optionally (c) from about 0.001 to about 0.1 weight percent (based on carbonate polymer compositions weight) of an alkali metal salt having a pH of at least about 7. Preferably the low volatility aromatic phosphate ester is selected from the group of aromatic phosphate ester oligomer compounds or haloaryl phosphate compounds. It has been found to be preferable to use a low volatility aromatic phosphate ester which experiences a weight loss of no more than 5 weight percent at 250.degree. C. when heated to a temperature of 500.degree. C. in a thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) at a heating rate of 20.degree. C. per minute, more preferably no more than 40 percent at 300.degree. C. It has been found that these compositions surprisingly achieve the Underwriters Laboratory (UL-94) V-2 rating without significantly sacrificing the otherwise good combinations of properties of carbonate polymer resins.
