Rubber-modified terpolymers of a monoalkenyl aromatic monomer, an unsaturated dicarboxylic acid anhydride and an alkyl methacrylate are found to possess an unexpectedly high heat distortion temperature over a certain range of composition.

Rubber modified terpolymers with improved heat distortion resistance

Terpolymers of a monoalkenyl aromatic monomer, an unsaturated dicarboxylic acid anhydride and an alkyl methacrylate are found to possess an unexpectedly high heat distortion temperature over a certain range of composition.

Terpolymers with improved heat distortion resistance

Rubber-modified terpolymers of from 50 to 83% of a monoalkenyl aromatic monomer, from 15 to 30% of an unsaturated dicarboxylic acid anhydride, from 2 to 20% of an unsaturated nitrile are described which are useful as molding compositions.

Rubber-modified terpolymer with improved molding characteristics

Polyblends are disclosed which comprise an ABS polymer blended with a rubber-modified polymer of a monoalkenyl aromatic monomer and an unsaturated dicarboxylic acid anhydride.

Tough polyblends with improved heat distortion resistance

Disclosed herein are fire retardant polymers of styrene and maleic anhydride. These polymers when formulated with various additives, have a UL-94 rating of at least V-1. The polymers are especially useful for use in radio and T.V. cabinets, furniture, appliance housings and other similar applications.

Fire retardant polymers of styrene and maleic anhydride

A polymer composition comprising a styrene/maleic anhydride copolymer, a halogen-containing rubber, a halogenated aromatic flame-retardant, a flame-retardant synergist and a smoke suppressant comprising a mixture of dawsonite, calcium oxide and a magnesium compound. Such polymers have reduced combustibility and evolve less smoke when burned.

Styrene/maleic anhydride copolymers

Disclosed herein are rubber modified fire retardant polymer compositions based on interpolymers of styrene, maleic anhydride, a brominated monomer such as tribromophenyl acrylate and a rubber component, which have been formulated with various additives. These compositions, which have a UL-94 rating of at least V-1, are especially useful for use in radio and T.V. cabinets, furniture, appliance housings and other similar applications.

Rubber modified fire retardant polymer compositions

The present invention relates to a fusible polymeric alloy composition comprising (A) a matrix interpolymer, (B) a grafted diene rubber, (C) a polymer other than (A) or (B) having a solubility parameter in the range of 8.5 to 13 and (D) an inorganic filler. Said alloy having low thermal expansion, high modulus and toughness yet unexpectedly superior processing and molding properties for highly filled alloys.

Polymeric alloy composition

Disclosed herein are interpolymers of a styrenic monomer, a maleic or halomaleic anhydride monomer and a brominated monomer selected from the group consisting of bromophenyl acrylates, bromophenyl methacrylates, bromoneopentyl acrylates and bromoneopentyl methacrylates. These polymers when formulated with various additives, have a UL-94 rating of at least V-1. The polymers are especially useful for use in radio and T.V. cabinets, furniture, appliance housings and other similar applications.
