Abstract

Abstract Thermoplastic polyester molding compositions showing good impact resistance at both high and relatively low temperatures and containing A. 100 parts by weight of a linear saturated polyester of an aromatic dicarboxylic acid and optionally small portions of aliphatic dicarboxylic acids with saturated aliphatic or cycloaliphatic diols and B. from 1 to 25 parts by weight of a rubber-elastic graft copolymer having a glass temperature below -20° C and C. optionally from 10 to 80 parts by weight of fillers.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim 176 words
Thermoplastic polyester molding compositions comprising: A. 100 parts by weight of a linear saturated polyester of an aromatic dicarboxylic acid and B. from 1 to 25 parts by weight of a rubber-elastic graft copolymer having a glass temperature below -20° C said copolymer being prepared by polymerizing from 10 to 85 parts by weight of one or more monomers selected from the group consisting of styrene, methacrylic acid, and methacrylates, up to 35 parts by weight of acrylonitrile or methacrylonitrile, and up to 20 parts by weight of other monomers selected from the group consisting of acrylates, vinyl esters, vinyl ethers, vinyl halides, and vinyl-substituted heterocyclic compounds in the presence of 100 parts by weight of a prepolymer of a. from 10 to 99% by weight of an acrylate of C 1 -15 alcohol, and b. from 1 to 90% by weight of a monomer bearing 2 olefinic double bonds, and c. up to 25% by weight of other monomers selected from the group consisting of vinyl ethers, vinyl esters, vinyl halides and vinyl-substituted heterocyclic compounds.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 176 words
Thermoplastic polyester molding compositions comprising: A. 100 parts by weight of a linear saturated polyester of an aromatic dicarboxylic acid and B. from 1 to 25 parts by weight of a rubber-elastic graft copolymer having a glass temperature below -20° C said copolymer being prepared by polymerizing from 10 to 85 parts by weight of one or more monomers selected from the group consisting of styrene, methacrylic acid, and methacrylates, up to 35 parts by weight of acrylonitrile or methacrylonitrile, and up to 20 parts by weight of other monomers selected from the group consisting of acrylates, vinyl esters, vinyl ethers, vinyl halides, and vinyl-substituted heterocyclic compounds in the presence of 100 parts by weight of a prepolymer of a. from 10 to 99% by weight of an acrylate of C 1 -15 alcohol, and b. from 1 to 90% by weight of a monomer bearing 2 olefinic double bonds, and c. up to 25% by weight of other monomers selected from the group consisting of vinyl ethers, vinyl esters, vinyl halides and vinyl-substituted heterocyclic compounds.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 129 words
Thermoplastic polyester molding compositions as set forth in claim 1 and containing, as component B, a graft copolymer composed of a. from 30 to 77% by weight of butyl acrylate and/or ethylhexyl acrylate, from 20 to 40% by weight of butadiene, from 1 to 20% by weight of a monomer having two non-conjugated olefinic double bonds and from 3 to 30% by weight of vinyl alkyl ether having from 1 to 8 carbon atoms in the alkyl, the percentages totaling 100, which basic polymer has been obtained by polymerizing the monomers in aqueous solutions and to which b. from 10 to 50% by weight, based on (a), of styrene or a mixture of styrene and acrylonitrile containing up to 30% by weight of acrylonitrile has been graft-polymerized in emulsion.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 114 words
Thermoplastic polyester molding compositions as set forth in claim 1 and containing, as component B, a graft copolymer composed of a. from 99 to 80% by weigth of at least one acrylate of an alcohol of from 4 to 8 carbon atoms and from 1 to 20% by weight of the acrylate of tricyclodecenyl alcohol or other monomers having at least two separate olefinic double bonds, which basic polymer has been produced by polymerizing the monomers in aqueous emulsion and to which b. from 10 to 50% by weight, based on (a), of styrene or a mixture of styrene and acrylonitrile containing up to 40% by weight of acrylonitrile, has been graft-polymerized in emulsion.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 42 words
Thermoplastic polyester molding compositions as set forth in claim 1 and containing, as fillers, glass fibers having a diameter of from 8 to 14 μm and a length of from 0.01 to 0.5 mm, glass spheres, potassium titanate monocrystalline fibers or asbestos.
Claim 6
