POLY(PHENYLENE ETHER) COMPOSITION AND ARTICLE

摘要

A composition includes 15 to 35 weight percent of a poly(phenylene ether) having an intrinsic viscosity of 0.29 to 0.43 deciliter per gram, and 65 to 85 weight percent of a rubber modified polystyrene. The composition exhibits improved heat resistance relative to acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer (ABS) while maintaining comparable levels of melt flow, impact resistance, and tensile strength. Articles such as electrical housings can be molded from the composition.
