Abstract

An improved thermoplastic molding composition containing polycarbonate and a polyester copolymer based on cyclohexane-dimethanol, ethylene glycol and phthalic acid is disclosed. Improved thermal stability and resistance to gamma-radiation results from the incorporation of a phosphite conforming to ##STR1## where n, m, p and r are integers, and where R is H, an alkyl or an aryl group and R.sub.3 denotes an alkyl or aryl group.
