Disclosed is a fluid transport pipe which has an inner layer, coming in contact with a fluid, comprising at least one aliphatic polyamide and at least one impact modifier and also at least one outer layer which is connected directly to the inner layer and is formed from an aliphatic polyamide and at least one flame retardant. While the inner layer ensures the chemical resistance relative to the fluids to be transported and the mechanical resistance, the flame resistance is ensured by the outer layer.

A composition includes specific amounts of an aromatic polycarbonate, a block polycarbonate-polysiloxane, a poly(alkylene terephthalate), a block polyestercarbonate, and an organophosphate ester. Relative to a corresponding composition lacking the block polyestercarbonate, the composition exhibits improved solvent resistance while substantially maintaining impact strength, melt flow, and flame retardancy. The composition is useful for fabricating articles that may come into contact with liquid chemicals or chemical vapors.

In accordance with the present invention, compositions are described which are useful, for example, for the preparation of metal-clad laminate structures, methods for the preparation thereof, and various uses therefor. Invention metal-clad laminate structures are useful, for example, in the multi-layer board (MLB) industry, in the preparation of burn-in test boards and high reliability boards, in applications where low coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) is beneficial, in the preparation of boards used in down-hole drilling, and the like.

A thermoplastic composition comprises, based on the total weight of the polymers in the thermoplastic composition, a polycarbonatesiloxane-arylate; 2 to 15 wt % or 2 to 8 wt % or 1 to 4 wt % of a core-shell impact modifier; a flame retardant comprising a bromine-containing polymer or oligomer effective to provide 1.5 wt % to 5 wt % of bromine; an aromatic organophosphorus compound, effective to provide 0.1 to 1 wt % of phosphorus, or a combination comprising at least one of the foregoing; and optionally 0 to 80 wt % or 0 to 60 wt % of a polyetherimide.
