Appeal 2007-3191 Application 10/482,217 5) Liao states that: In the thermoplastic compositions which contain a polyester and a polycarbonate resin, it is preferable to use a stabilizer material. Typically, such stabilizers are used at a level of 0.01-10 weight percent and preferably at a level of from 0.05-2 weight percent. The preferred stabilizers include an effective amount of an acidic phosphate salt; an acid, alkyl, aryl or mixed phosphite having at least one hydrogen or alkyl group; a Group IB or Group IIB metal phosphate salt; a phosphorus oxo acid, a metal acid pyrophosphate or a mixture thereof. (Liao, col. 9, l. 59-col. 10, l. 1.) 6) Liao discloses that: The suitability of a particular compound for use as a stabilizer and the determination of how much is to be used as a stabilizer may be readily determined by preparing a mixture of the polyester component, the polycarbonate with and without the particular compound and determining the effect on melt viscosity or color stability or the formation of interpolymer. The acidic phosphate salts include sodium dihydrogen phosphate, mono zinc phosphate, potassium hydrogen phosphate, calcium hydrogen phosphate and the like. (Liao, col. 10, ll. 1-10.) 7) Liao discloses that the molding compositions of the invention may contain polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) type resins or copolymers used to reduce dripping in flame retardant thermoplastics. Preferably other ingredients are employed in low amounts, typically less than 5 percent by weight of the total composition, and include stabilizers, mold release, lubricants, colorants, nucleants, antioxidants and UV absorbers (Liao, col. 11, ll. 13-19). 5Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 Next
