Abstract
Abstract The invention relates to moulding compositions based on thermoplastic polyesters and containing finely particulate calcined magnesium sulfate. The moulded articles obtained with these compositions have increased stiffness and tracking resistance, this latter also in the presence of flame retardants and/or a reinforcing filler.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
59 words
A thermoplastic polyester moulding composition which comprises, based on the total composition, (a) 40 to 95% by weight of a thermoplastic polyester, (b) 5 to 60% by weight of finely particulate calcined magnesium sulfate, and (c) 3 to 25% by weight, based on the polyester, of a flame-proofing additive, which is a mixture of decabromodiphenyl oxide and antimony trioxide.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
59 words
A thermoplastic polyester moulding composition which comprises, based on the total composition, (a) 40 to 95% by weight of a thermoplastic polyester, (b) 5 to 60% by weight of finely particulate calcined magnesium sulfate, and (c) 3 to 25% by weight, based on the polyester, of a flame-proofing additive, which is a mixture of decabromodiphenyl oxide and antimony trioxide.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
14 words
A moulding composition according to claim 1, wherein the polyester is a polyalkylene terephthalate.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
27 words
