Abstract

A thermoplastic composition, contains a polycarbonate resin, a polycarbonate-polysiloxane copolymer, an aromatic vinyl copolymer, an impact modifier, and a mineral filler, wherein the composition has least about 40% ductility under multiaxial impact strength test conditions per ASTM D3763 at −30° C. Alternatively, a composition contains a polycarbonate resin, a polycarbonate-polysiloxane copolymer in an amount sufficient to provide at least about 2.5 wt. % siloxane by weight of the composition, an aromatic vinyl copolymer comprising SAN, an impact modifier comprising ABS, and a mineral filler. Such compositions may be made by combining, by weight of the composition, polycarbonate resin, a polycarbonate-polysiloxane copolymer, an aromatic vinyl copolymer, an impact modifier, and a mineral filler, wherein the composition has at least 40% ductility under multiaxial impact strength test conditions per ASTM D3763 at −30° C. An article may be made from such a composition, optionally by molding, shaping or forming the composition to form the article.
