Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
201 words
A methyl methacrylate-based resin film and sheet containing as comonomer 1 to 15% by weight of an alkyl acrylate whose alkyl group has one to four carbon atoms and 0 to 3% by weight of an ultraviolet ray absorbent, which film and sheet possess a specific supra-molecular structure such that the melt flow rate (as measured under Conditions I defined by ASTM, D1238-70) falls in the range of from 0.5 to 12 g/10 min., the orientation release stress falls in the range of 5 to 30 kg/cm 2 (based on the method of ASTM D1504), the ratio of the orientation release stresses in the two axial directions (the ratio of the orientation release stress in the direction of its maximum value vs. the orientation release stress in the direction of its minimum value) falls in the range of from 1 to 2, the difference of the orientation release stresses in the two axial directions (the difference of the orientation release stress in the direction of its maximum value subtracted by the orientation release stress in the direction of its minimum value) falls below 10 kg/cm 2 , the high-speed tensile strength exceeds 7 kg/mm 2 and the critical elongation exceeds 0.1%.
