A THERMOPLASTIC ARTICLE HAVING LOW GLOSS AND A COMPOSITION FOR ITS PREPARATION

摘要

A thermoplastic composition comprising a resinous blend of a polyether-polyol based thermoplastic polyurethane having a Shore A hardness no greater than 90, and a grafted polybutadiene rubber is disclosed. In the inventive composition, the relative amount in the blend of polyurethane predominates the amount of grafted polybutadiene rubber. The composition is especially suitable for the preparation, by thermoforming, of articles having low gloss which are additionally characterized by their "soft-touch". Also disclosed is a method for reducing the 60 degree gloss of a thermoformed article prepared from a thermoplastic composition containing a blend of thermoplastic polyurethane and grafted polybutadiene rubber.
