A reinforced polycarbonate composition comprising: 10-90 wt% of a polycarbonate component comprising a homopolycarbonate having a weight average molecular weight from 15,000-40,000 grams/mole; a high heat copolycarbonate having a glass transition temperature of 170 °C or higher; or a combination thereof; 5-45 wt% of a poly(carbonate-siloxane); 0.001-1.0 wt% of a nanostructured fluoropolymer; 5-45 wt% of a reinforcing fiber, preferably glass fibers; an organophosphorus flame retardant present in an amount effective to provide 0.1-1.5 wt% of added phosphorous, based on the total weight of the flame retardant; wherein each amount is based on the total weight of the reinforced polycarbonate composition, which sums to 100 wt%, wherein a molded sample has a UL 94 rating of V0 at a thickness of 0.8 mm, or at a thickness of 0.6 mm, or at a thickness of 0.4 mm, and a heat distortion temperature of at least 120 °C. |
