Definitions

• the invention relates to polycarbonate molding compositions reinforced with wollastonite of specific specification, containing resins based on AES and other thermoplastics with improved toughness in the low-temperature range, their production and molded parts obtainable therefrom.
• blends containing AES rubbers and AES resins are weather-resistant, but their mechanical properties in the low-temperature range are unsatisfactory. At temperatures below 0 ° C, they become brittle and have unsatisfactory toughness, which hinders the use of these molding compositions at lower temperatures. In particular, the notched impact strength of AES blends in the low temperature range is poor, in particular in comparison to acrylonitrile / butadiene / styrene (ABS) blends.
