FLAME RETARDANT POLYCARBONATE COMPOSITIONS, METHODS OF MANUFACTURE THEREOF AND ARTICLES COMPRISING THE SAME
Disclosed herein is a flame retardant composition comprising 20 to 90 weight percent of a polycarbonate composition; where the polycarbonate composition comprises a post- consumer recycle polycarbonate and a polysiloxane-carbonate copolymer; and 1 to 20 weight percent of a phosphazene compound; where all weight percents are based on a total weight of the flame retardant composition. Disclosed herein too is a flame retardant composition comprising 50 to 90 wt% of a polycarbonate composition; where the polycarbonate composition comprises a polysiloxane-carbonate copolymer; 0.5 to 10 weight percent of a silicone oil; and 1 to 20 weight percent of a phosphazene compound; where all weight percents are based on the total weight of the flame retardant composition; where the composition displays a flame retardancy of 5VA at a thickness of 2.0 millimeters or greater; when tested as per a UL-94 protocol.
