Claims
- 1. A blend comprising from about 1 to about 19 parts by weight of a first polyester polymer consisting essentially of units (IX), (X), (XI), (XII): ##STR18## wherein n is 1 and wherein the molar amounts of recurring units (IX), (X), (XI) and (XII) are such that the composition of said first polyester falls approximately within area C of the triangular diagram of FIG. 1; to one part by weight of a second polyester polymer comprising at least one unit:
- --X.sub.1 --Ar--X.sub.2 -- (XIII)
- wherein Ar comprises at least one member selected from the group consisting of: ##STR19## and wherein X.sub.1 and X.sub.2 in formula (XIII) are independently selected form the group consisting of oxy and carbonyl.
- 2. The blend of claim 1, wherein Ar in formula (XIII) also comprises a divalent aromatic radical comprising at least one phenylene group.
- 3. A molding compound comprising the blend of claim 1, and from about 1 to about 50 percent by weight, based upon the total weight of the molding compound, of at least one material selected from the group consisting essentially of glass fibers, asbestos, graphitic carbon fibers, amorphous carbon fibers, synthetic polymeric fibers, aluminum fibers, aluminum silicate fibers, oxide of aluminum fibers, titanium fibers, magnesium fibers, rock wool fibers, steel fibers, tungsten fibers, cotton, wool, and wood cellulose fibers, calcium silicate, silica, clays, talc, mica, carbon black, titanium dioxide, wollastonite, polytetrafluoroethylene, graphite, alumina trihydrate, sodium aluminum carbonate, barium ferrite, and glass beads.
- 4. An ovenware article comprising the compound of claim 3.
- 5. A molded article of permanent ovenware, comprising:
- (A) 35-85% by weight of a wholly aromatic polyester resin;
- (B) about 15-65% by weight of a talc containing a minimum amount of materials decomposable at elevated temperatures characterized by a weight loss on ignition of not more than about 6% by weight at 950.degree. C. and 2% by weight at 800.degree. C. and having an iron content of not more than about 1.0% by weight analyzed as iron oxide; and
- (C) about 0-20% titanium dioxide, such that the ovenware is not blistered or bubbled or cracked during molding or oven use;
- said aromatic polyester resin (A) comprising the blend of claim 1.
