Abstract
A thermoplastic molding composition which contains (i) a grafted copolymer rubber having a grafted phase of styrene-acrylonitrile phase and a crosslinked (meth)acrylate-acrylonitrile substrate, and (ii) an ungrafted, uncrosslinked SAN having a number average molecular weight of about 20,000 to 100,000 is disclosed. The composition which is further characterized in that it contains no additional grafted copolymer rubber based on crosslinked (meth)acrylate-acrylonitrile substrate and in that the grafted copolymer rubber is present in particulate form where the particles have a monomodal size distribution and a weight average particle size of 0.05 to 0.5 microns exhibits improved mechanical properties.
