Methacrylic resin composition and use thereof

Abstract

A methacrylic resin composition comprising 100 parts by mass of a methacrylic resin having an amount of a terminal double bond of less than 0.012% by mole and an amount of a bonded sulfur atom of preferably less than 0.25% by mole; 5×10−6 to 9×10−3 part by mass of a metal element having an atomic number of not more than 20 (preferably lithium element and aluminum element); and 0.025 to 0.50 part by mass of a hindered phenol antioxidant such as 2,6-bis(1,1-dimethylethyl)-4-methylphenol, wherein the methacrylic resin composition, when being exposed to a nitrogen gas atmosphere at 290° C. for 15 minutes, has a thermogravimetric retention of not less than 98% by mass.
