The black speck formation which occurs during the compounding and molding of admixtures of oxymethylene polymers and polyamides having a melting or softening point below that of the oxymethylene polymer can be reduced by adding the polyamide to the oxymethylene polymer as a dispersion of the polyamide in a carrier resin which is inert to the oxymethylene polymer and has a melting or softening point below that of the oxymethylene polymer. The polyamide comprises less than about 50 weight percent of the dispersion.

Oxymethylene polymer molding compositions having enhanced resistance to

An improved molding composition is provided comprised of an oxymethylene polymer, a blocked or unblocked isocyanate compound in an amount ranging from about 0.2 to 2.0 percent by weight based on the weight of the polymer, a filler and an isocyanate-active catalyst. Shaped articles can be produced from the composition which exhibit desirable mechanical properties without the need for fibrous reinforcing agents.
