Abstract
Polycarbonate compositions having good flame retardancy and high light transmittance are achieved using the combination of a polycarbonate, a charring salt flame retardant, and a low molecular weight silicone compound. Light diffusing compositions are achieved using a particulate light diffusing agent. The compositions preferably meet or exceed one or more (and most preferably all) of the following flame retardancy standards: (i) UL-94 V-0 (t=1 mm); (ii) UL-94 5VA (t=2.5 mm); (iii) UL-94 5VB (t=2.5 mm).
