Abstract
Polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) injection-molding compositions exhibit improved mold-release properties and sufficient extruder screw "bite" during injection molding. The PBT compositions are a polyblend of a PBT base resin with an effective amount (preferably between about 0.01 to 10 parts by weight) of a processing aid which is a sorbitan ester of a fatty acid having at least 12 carbon atoms. The PBT injection molding compositions of the invention may be used in a variety of end-use applications (e.g., the automotive and/or electronic industries) to form stable injection-molded thin-walled and/or complex-shaped articles.
