Abstract

The present invention relates to molding compositions comprising graft polymer and featuring very good processability via extrusion without the occurrence of certain surface defects.

Claims (25)

1 . A molding composition, comprising:

A) from 5 to 95% by weight (based on A+B) of at least one thermoplastic homo-, co- or terpolymer of styrene, of α-methylstyrene, of ring-substituted styrene, of methyl methacrylate, of acrylonitrile, of methacrylonitrile, of maleic anhydride, of N-substituted maleimide, or of a mixture of these,

B) from 95 to 5% by weight (based on A+B) of at least one graft polymer of

B.1) from 5 to 90 parts by weight of styrene, of α-methylstyrene, of ring-substituted styrene, of methyl methacrylate, of acrylonitrile, of methacrylonitrile, of maleic anhydride, of N-substituted maleimide, or of a mixture of these, onto

B.2) from 95 to 10 parts by weight of at least one rubber with a glass transition temperature ≦10° C. in the form of at least to some extent crosslinked particles with a median particle diameter (d 50 ) of from 0.05 to 20 μm,

and also

C) from 0.05 to 5 parts by weight (per 100 parts by weight of A+B) of at least one partially oxidized polyolefin and

D) from 0.05 to 2 parts by weight (per 100 parts by weight of A+B) of at least one alkaline earth metal oxide selected from magnesium oxide and calcium oxide.

2 . The molding composition, comprising:

A) from 10 to 90% by weight (based on A+B) of at least one thermoplastic homo-, co- or terpolymer of styrene, of α-methylstyrene, of ring-substituted styrene, of methyl methacrylate, of acrylonitrile, of methacrylonitrile, of maleic anhydride, of N-substituted maleimide, or of a mixture of these,

B) from 90 to 10% by weight (based on A+B) of at least one graft polymer of

B.1) from 20 to 80 parts by weight of styrene, of α-methylstyrene, of ring-substituted styrene, of methyl methacrylate, of acrylonitrile, of methacrylonitrile, of maleic anhydride, of N-substituted maleimide, or of a mixture of these, onto

B.2) from 80 to 20 parts by weight of at least one rubber with a glass transition temperature ≦10° C.,

C) from 0.1 to 3 parts by weight (in each case per 100 parts by weight of A+B) of at least one partially oxidized polyolefin and

D) from 0.08 to 1.5 parts by weight (in each case per 100 parts by weight of A+B) of at least one alkaline earth metal oxide selected from magnesium oxide and calcium oxide.

3 . The molding composition according to claim 1 , wherein A) is a copolymer composed of styrene and acrylonitrile.

4 . The molding composition according to claim 1 , wherein B1) is a mixture composed of styrene and acrylonitrile.

5 . The molding composition according claim 1 , wherein B2) is a rubber with a median particle diameter (d 50 ) of from 100 to 450 nm, composed of polybutadiene, which may contain up to 30% by weight of styrene and/or acrylonitrile as comonomers.

6 . The molding composition according claim 1 , wherein B2) comprises two rubbers B.2.a) and B.2.b) with a median particle diameter (d 50 ) of from 150 to 300 nm and, respectively, with a median particle diameter (d 50 ) of from 350 to 450 nm, in a ratio B.2.a):B.2.b) by weight of from 10:90 to 90:10, each composed of polybutadiene which may contain up to 30% by weight of styrene and/or acrylonitrile as comonomers.

7 . The molding composition according claim 1 , wherein D) is magnesium oxide.

8 . A method of use of a molding composition according to claim 1 for production of sheets via extrusion.

9 . A method of use of a molding composition according to claim 2 for production of sheets via extrusion.

10 . The molding obtained via extrusion from the molding compositions according to claim 1 .

11 . The molding obtained via extrusion from the molding compositions according to claim 2 .

12 . A formulation comprising from 0.05 to 5 parts by weight of at least one partially oxidized polyolefin C) and from 0.05 to 2 parts by weight of at least one alkaline earth metal oxide D) selected from magnesium oxide and calcium oxide.
