Abstract
Transparent, impact-resistant thermoplastic molding materials produced from a rigid methylmethacrylate polymer A, a rigid styrene-acrylonitrile polymer B and a flexible graft copolymer C, made from grafting an alkylmethacrylate and optionally styrene onto a rubber grafting base.
Claims4
Transparent, impact resistant molding material which can be processed above 200.degree. C. without recognizable yellowing and odor development, consisting of a mixture of
- (A) 15 to 70 parts by weight of a methylmethacrylate polymer containing 90 to 100 percent by weight of a methylmethacrylate and 10 to 0 percent by weight of an alkylacrylate having 1 carbon atom to 8 carbon atoms in the alkyl radical,
- (B) 10 to 50 parts by weight of a styrene/acrylonitrile copolymer containing 78 to 88 parts by weight styrene and 22 to 12 parts by weight acrylonitrile,
- (C) 20 to 50 parts by weight of a copolymerized graft polymer mixture and
- (D) additives in an amount from 0 to 20 percent by weight relative to the total of components A, B and C wherein the parts by weight of A, B and C total 100 and where the difference between the refractory index of component C and the refractive index of the mixture of components A, B and D is less than 0.005,
- wherein the copolymerized graft polymer mixture C is produced by grafting
- (C.sub.1) 50 to 80 percent by weight relative to the copolymerized graft polymer C of a diene elastomeric grafting base having a glass temperature below -20.degree. C. with
- (C.sub.2) 20 to 50 percent by weight consisting of of the following components as a mixture or in sequence:
- (C.sub.21) 40 to 100 parts by weight of one or more methacrylates of C.sub.1 -C.sub.8 alkanols and
- (C.sub.22) 0 to 60 parts by weight of styrene or an alkylstyrene having up to 12 carbon atoms.
