Zusammenfassung:The invention relates to the use of branched aliphatic hydrocarbons such as squalane in compositions based on thermoplastic polymer, in particular on polycarbonate, which are used for producing molded parts used in LED lighting units, such as covers for instance. According to the invention it has been found that the use of branched aliphatic hydrocarbons makes it possible to enhance the total transmission and the transmission in the range from 360 to 460 nm, thus making corresponding compositions particularly suitable for producing molded parts for use in combination with white LED light sources. It has additionally been shown that yellowing and haze are simultaneously reduced.
