Patent ID: 8759428

Claim:
A polycarbonate composition, comprising: a polycarbonate resin; an ultraviolet absorber selected from the group consisting of 1,3-bis-[(2′-cyano-3′,3′-diphenylacryloyl)oxy]-2,2-bis-{[(2′-cyano-3′,3′-diphenylacryloyl)oxy]methyl}-propane and tetraethyl-2,2′-(1,4-phenylene-dimethylidene)-bismalonate; and a dye of Formula (I): wherein R 4 and R 5 are either: (i) independently selected from the group consisting of an aliphatic radical having 1 to 12 carbon atoms, an aromatic radical having 3 to 20 carbon atoms, a cycloaliphatic radical having 3 to 12 carbon atoms, a cyano group, a nitro group, a halo group, and a —OR 7 group, wherein R 7 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, an aliphatic radical having 1 to 12 carbon atoms, an aromatic radical having 3 to 20 carbon atoms, and a cycloaliphatic radical having 3 to 12 carbon atoms; or (ii) together represent an aromatic radical having 3 to 12 carbon atoms, a heteroaromatic radical having 3 to 12 carbon atoms, or a pyranone radical of the formula R 1 and R 8 are independently selected from —O— or —NR 6 —; R 2 and R 9 are independently selected from the group consisting of an aromatic radical having 3 to 30 carbon atoms, and a cycloaliphatic radical having 3 to 12 carbon atoms; R 3 and R 10 are independently selected from hydrogen or a labile group with the proviso that R 3 is not a group selected from the group consisting of —CH 2 —(CH 2 ) n —CH 3 and —CH 2 —C 6 H 5 wherein n has a value 0, 1, or 2; and R 6 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, an aliphatic radical having 1 to 12 carbon atoms, an aromatic radical having 3 to 20 carbon atoms, and a cycloaliphatic radical having 3 to 12 carbon atoms.
