Abstract:
A thermoplastic molding composition having reduced gloss sensitivity and no unpleasant odor is produced from a graft copolymer and a thermoplastic polymer. The graft copolymer is produced from a soft elastomeric particulate graft base obtained by emulsion polymerization of a conjugated diene alone or with a small amount of a mono- ethylenically unsaturated monomer, using an inorganic radical generating substance and a limited amount of chain transfer agent, upon which is grafted a vinyl aromatic monomer and acrylonitrile and optionally another monoethylenically unsaturated monomer using an inorganic radical generating substance while the use of a chain transfer agent is excluded. The thermoplastic polymer is a copolymer of a vinyl aromatic monomer and acrylonitrile and optionally an additional monoethylenically unsaturated monomer. The thermoplastic molding composition has a low level of unpleasant odor coupled with reduced gloss sensitivity and good mechanical properties.
