IMPACT MODIFIER COMPOSITIONS, THEIR PRODUCTION AND THERMOPLASTIC POLYMER COMPOSITIONS CONTAINING THEM

摘要

Elastomeric impact modifier polymer is blended with polymer of at least one of the monomers: esters of acrylic and methacrylic acids, vinyl aromatic monomers such as styrene and substituted styrenes, olefins and unsaturated esters of organic acid; which is effective to substantially reduce gel colonies of impact modifier in formulations with rigid thermoplastic matrix polymers. The impact modification efficiency of the elastomeric modifier is thereby improved. The weight ratio of impact modifier polymer to gel colony reducing polymer is from 99.5:0.5 to 96:4. The blends may be made by mixing emulsions of the polymers and co-spray drying or co-coagulating. Impact modified thermoplastic polymer compositions contain the blend in a weight ratio of 60:40 to 98:2 of thermoplastic to blend.
