Abstract

The thermoplastic molding composition comprises: a) as component A, from 0 to 97.9% by weight of one or more (methyl)styrene-acrylonitrile copolymers which do not have any units derived from maleic anhydride, and which have an intrinsic viscosity smaller than 85 ml/g, b) as component B, from 1 to 98.9% by weight of one or more (methyl)styrene-acrylonitrile copolymers which have, based on the entire component B, from 0.5 to 5% by weight of units derived from maleic anhydride, c) as component C, from 1 to 75% by weight of glass fibers, d) from 0.1 to 20% by weight of one or more flow promoters, selected from d 1 ) as component D1, at least one highly branched or hyperbranched polycarbonate with an OH number of from 1 to 600 mg KOH/g of polycarbonate (to DIN 53240, part 2), d 2 ) as component D2, at least one highly branched or hyperbranched polyester of A x B y type, where x is at least 1.1 and y is at least 2.1, d 3 ) as component D3, alkyl acrylate oligomers with a weight-average molar mass in the range from 1200 to 4000 g/mol, e) as component E, from 0 to 40% by weight of further fillers, or rubbers, and/or further additives, where the total amount of components A to D and, if present, E is 100% by weight.

Claims (20)

1. A thermoplastic molding composition consisting of

a) as component A, from 70 to 90% by weight of one or more (methyl)styrene-acrylonitrile copolymers which do not have any units derived from maleic anhydride, and which have an intrinsic viscosity smaller than 85 ml/g,

b) as component B, from 3 to 10% by weight of one or more (methyl)styrene-acrylonitrile copolymers which have, based on the entire component B, from 0.5 to 5% by weight of units derived from maleic anhydride,

c) as component C, from 10 to 20% by weight of glass fibers,

d) from 1 to 3% by weight of one or more flow promoters,

d 1 ) as component D1, at least one highly branched or hyperbranched polycarbonate with an OH number of from 1 to 600 mg KOH/g of polycarbonate (according to DIN 53240, part 2), and optionally

e) as component E, of further fillers, or rubbers, and/or further additives,

where the total amount of components A to D1 and, if present, E does not exceed 100% by weight.

2. The molding composition according to claim 1 , wherein component B has from 1.0 to 2.5% by weight of units derived from maleic anhydride.

3. The molding composition according to claim 1 , wherein component D1 has a number-average molar mass Mn of from 100 to 15 000 g/mol.

6. A process for the production of thermoplastic molding compositions according to claim 1 , which comprises mixing components A to D1 in any sequence with one another.

7. A molding, fiber or foil composed of the thermoplastic molding composition according to claim 1 .

8. A thermoplastic molding composition consisting of

a) as component A, from 70 to 90% by weight of one or more (methyl)styrene-acrylonitrile copolymers which do not have any units derived from maleic anhydride, and which have an intrinsic viscosity smaller than 85 ml/g,

b) as component B, from 3 to 10% by weight of one or more (methyl)styene-acrylonitrile copolymers which have, based on the entire component B, from 0.5 to 5% by weight of units derived from maleic anhydride,

c) as component C, from 10 to 20% by weight of glass fibers, and
