Abstract
The impact resistance of high nitrile thermoplastic resins is greatly improved by including metal carboxylate compounds therein. Examples of metal carboxylate compounds useful herein include calcium stearate, calcium pelargonate, calcium laurate, zinc laurate, zinc stearate, aluminum distearate, aluminum laurate and aluminum pelargonate.
Claims6
An impact resistant resin composition which comprises an intimate mixture of (1) a copolymer produced by the polymerization of a major proportion of a mono-unsaturated nitrile and a minor proportion of at least one monovinyl monomer component copolymerizable therewith in the presence of a preformed diene rubber;
- and (2) a metal carboxylate selected from the group consisting of calcium pelargonate, calcium laurate, aluminum pelargonate, aluminum laurate and aluminum distearate.
