Abstract

The present invention is concerned with flame retardant polycarbonate compositions having good mechanical properties and melt stability. These properties are achieved by adding small amounts of a fibril forming polytetrafluoroethylene, and an alkali metal salt of an inorganic acid, and a small amount of aromatically bound chlorine or bromine contained in a compound other than an organic alkali metal or alkaline earth metal salt to a thermoplastic aromatic polycarbonate.
