Polycarbonate composition having a low added
fluorine content while also achieving a V-0
flame test rating at 1.5 mm, comprising a homo-
polycarbonate composition having one or more homo-polycarbonates wherein the homo-
polycarbonate composition has a weight average molecular weight of 25,000 to 2,000,000, a poly (
carbonate-
siloxane) and 0.01 to 1.0 wt% of a
flame retardant. The molecular weight of the catalyst is greater than 10,000 g / mol A poly (
carbonate-
siloxane) having a
siloxane content of from 30 to 70 wt%, present in an amount effective to provide 4.5 to 14 wt% of siloxane repeat units, based on the total weight of the composition, and having a weight average molecular weight of from 26,000 to 50,000 g / mol, and having less than 1 wt% of a poly (
carbonate-siloxane) having a siloxane content of less than 30 wt%; the
flame retardant includes an aromatic
sulfonate inorganic salt, an aromatic
sulfone sulfonate inorganic salt, or a combination thereof.
