Abstract

Modified thermoplastic polyester compositions are provided which comprise (a) a poly(1,4-butylene terephthalate) resin and, optionally, a poly(ethylene terephthalate) resin and (b) a modifier therefor comprising (i) a silane-treated clay; (ii) acicular calcium metasilicate, (iii) a combination of segmented copolyester and an aromatic polycarbonate; or (iv) novaculite or a combination thereof. The modifiers provide easier processability and enhanced resistance to warpage in articles molded from the compositions.
