Patent ID: 8653167

Claim:
A composition comprising: about 65 to about 75 weight percent of a poly(arylene ether); about 3 to about 12 weight percent of a styrenic polymer selected from the group consisting of homopolystyrenes, rubber-modified impact polystyrenes, and mixtures thereof; about 10 to about 20 weight percent of a flame retardant consisting of an organophosphate ester and, optionally, an auxiliary flame retardant selected from the group consisting of nitrogen-containing flame retardants, metal hydroxides, and mixtures thereof; about 3 to about 10 weight percent of a hydrogenated block copolymer of an alkenyl aromatic compound and a conjugated diene, wherein the hydrogenated block copolymer comprises about 10 to about 45 weight percent poly(alkenyl aromatic) content, based on the weight of the hydrogenated block copolymer, and wherein the hydrogenated block copolymer comprises a polystyrene-poly(ethylene-butylene)-polystyrene triblock copolymer having a weight average molecular weight of at least 200,000 atomic mass units; and about 0.02 to about 0.25 weight percent of a polytetrafluoroethylene; wherein the composition comprises less than or equal to 5 weight percent polyamide; wherein all weight percents are based on the total weight of the composition; and wherein the composition exhibits a notched Izod impact strength of at least 200 joules/meter measured at 23° C. according to ASTM D256-10 using a 2 foot-pound-force (2.71 joule) hammer on 3.2 millimeter bars.
