POLY(PHENYLENE ETHER) COMPOSITION AND ARTICLE

摘要

A composition is prepared by melt blending specific amounts of components including a poly(phenylene ether), a first hydrogenated block copolymer (HBC1) that includes a polystyrene-poly(ethylene-butylene)-polystyrene triblock copolymer having a polystyrene content of 50 to 75 weight percent, and a second hydrogenated block copolymer that includes a polystyrene-poly(ethylene-butylene-styrene)-polystyrene triblock copolymer having a polystyrene content of 50 to 65 weight percent and a weight average molecular weight of 200,000 to 400,000 atomic mass units. A combination of high light transmittance, low haze, and high impact strength at low temperature make the composition useful for molding objects such as containers for refrigerated storage.
