Claim 1
Independent Claim
363 words
A process for the production of polymer mixtures in powder form having an average particle diameter of 0.05-5 mm which comprises: (i) coagulating in a first stage, a latex of (A) or a mixture of a latex of (A) and a portion of the requisite amount of a latex of (B) at a temperature of from 20° to 100° C. by the addition of a coagulating agent, and further coagulating in a second stage the product from (i) with a latex of (B) or the remaining portion of the requisite amount of the latex of (B) whereby the desired quantity ratio of (A) and (B) is attained, and until a solids/water weight ratio of from 1:3 to 1:15 is attained, and (iii) separating in a third stage the precipitated mixture of (A) and (B) from the aqueous phase and drying the product wherein the proportion of graft polymer in the product obtained is at least 10%, by weight; wherein (A) is from 95-20% by weight of the polymer mixture and comprises: (A1) a rubbery polymer from the series of diene- or alkyl acrylate homo- or copolymers with styrene, acrylonitrile, methyl methacrylate, vinyl acetate or vinyl ether and which has a glass transition temperature of ≦35° C.; or (A2) a graft polymer wherein monomers including styrene, acrylonitrile, methyl methacrylate or mixtures thereof are grafted on diene or alkyl acrylate rubbers and having a rubber content, based on the graft polymer of from 50 to 95%, by weight, and has a glass transition temperature of <20° C.; or (A3) a mixture of said rubbery polymer (A1) and said graft polymer (A2); and wherein (B) is from 5 to 80% by weight of the polymer mixture and comprises: (B1) a rigid thermoplastic polymer of styrene, α-methylstyrene, acrylonitrile, methyl methacrylate and mixtures thereof; or (B2) a graft polymer wherein monomers including styrene, α-methylstyrene, acrylonitrile, methyl methacrylate or mixtures thereof are grafted on diene rubbers or alkyl acrylate rubbers and having a rubber content less than 50%, by weight, based on the graft polymer, and having a glass transition temperature of <20° C.; or (B3) a mixture of said rigid thermoplastic polymer (B1) and said graft polymer (B2).
