<p>In an article molded from a non-burning, non-dripping filled polyester composition having a high level of arc resistance and tracking resistance, decay in the arc resistance with time is substantially decreased or prevented by incorporating a minor but critical amount of polyethylene terephthalate. Typical compositions comprise (a) approximately 30 to 60 percent by weight, based on the composition, of a mixture of polyethylene terephthalate and polybutylene terephthalate wherein polyetnylene terephthalate comprises approximately 3 to 20 percent by weight; (b) approximately 30 to 60 percent by weight of the composition of a mixture of fiber glass and talc wherein talc comprises approximately 15 to 35 percent by weight of the composition; and (c) an effective amount, up to 20 percent by weight of the composition of a flame retardant additive or a mixture thereof. Typical compositions possess superior electrical properties, comparable to those of thermosetting molding resins.</p> |
