Abstract:
A polymer alloy is provided which comprises:
(I) from 10-50 parts by weight of an impact resistant styrene acrylate alloy which comprises (i) from 90 to 30 parts by weight of a brittle polymer (e. g. a styrene/alkyl (meth)acrylate copolymer, optionally with a (meth)acrylic acid comonomer), (ii) from 3 to 50 parts by weight of a rubbery polymer (e. g. a styrene/conjugated diolefin linear, tapered, radial di-block or tri-block copolymer), and (iii) from 15 to 67 parts by weight of a ductile polymer (e. g. a a styrene/conjugated diolefin linear, radial di-block or tri-block copolymer), and
(II) from 90 to 50 parts by weight of an impact modified styrene polymer.
The resulting polymer blends have good impact strength, tensile strength and gloss.
