Abstract:
1. A thermoplastic composition comprising, based on the total weight of the composition: from 51 to 90 wt % of a polyester having from 10 to 49 wt % of an acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene impact modifier composition, having from 0 to 20 wt % of a multifunctional epoxy compound; from 0 to 40 wt % of a filler; from 0 to 2 wt % of a fibrillated fluoropolymer; and from at least about 0.75 wt. % to 5 wt % of a stabilizer composition comprising at least about 0.75 wt % of thioester having a molecular weight of greater than 500 daltons, wherein the stabilizer composition comprises at least 20 wt % thioether ester, based on the weight of the stabilizer composition, and wherein at least one additional stabilizer is selected from the group consisting of hindered phenols, phosphites, phosphonites, phosphoric acid, and a combination thereof; wherein an article that is blow molded from the thermoplastic composition has a multi-axial impact total energy ranging from 40 to 100 Joules at −30° C., a ductility of more than 90% at −30° C., and a ductility of more than 50% at −40° C., measured in accordance with ASTM D3763; and wherein the thermoplastic composition:
