Abstract

Blow moldable polycarbonate is produced by first producing a polycarbonate preform by a melt transesterification process. The polycarbonate preform comprises 2.1 to 10 mole percent polyfunctional branching agent, based on the total moles of polycarbonate in the polycarbonate preform. The polycarbonate preform is then melt equilibrated with a second polycarbonate to produce a blow moldable grade.
