Abstract:
1. A thermoplastic article comprising a polyester-containing composition comprising a polyester which comprises: (a) a dicarboxylic acid component comprising: (b) a glycol component comprising: wherein the total mole % of the dicarboxylic acid component is 100 mole %, and the total mole % of the glycol component is 100 mole %; and wherein the inherent viscosity of the polyester is from about 0.55 to 0.75 dL/g as determined in 60/40 (wt/wt) phenol/tetrachloroethane at a concentration of 0.5 g/100 ml at 25° C.; and wherein the polyester has a Tg of from about 110 to 130° C.; wherein said polyester has a notched Izod impact strength of at least 10 ft-lb/inch at 23° C. according to ASTM D256 with a 10-mil notch in a ⅛-inch thick bar; wherein the melt viscosity of said polyester is less than 20,000 poise as measured at 1 radian/second on a rotary melt rheometer at 290° C.; and wherein said polyester-containing composition comprises no polycarbonate.
