A glass fiber reinforced thermoplastic molding composition suitable for the
preparation of articles having good surface properties is disclosed. The
composition contains a resinous blend and a filler component. The resinous
blend contains (i) to 50 wt. % of a grafted acrylate rubber, (ii) 2 to 10
wt. % of a first copolymer containing structural units derived from
styrene (meth)acrylonitrile and maleic anhydride, (iii) 20 to 80 wt. %
polyamide, and (iv) 0 to 40 wt. % of a second copolymer containing
structural units derived from styrene and (meth)acrylonitrile, the
percents being relative to the total amount of (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv).
The filler component of the inventive composition contains 5 to 50 percent
of milled glass fibers, the percent being relative to the weight of the
molding composition. Optionally, the inventive composition also contains a
positive amount of a wollastonite. Molded articles that are prepared of
the composition feature good mechanical properties and excellent surface
quality.
