Abstract

Abstract Novel nylon molding materials having high impact strength contain, as an additive, a copolymer of ethylene, a primary or secondary C 2 -C 8 -alkyl acrylate or methacrylate and a monomer possessing a (latent) acid functional group, in particular an ethylene/n-butyl acrylate/acrylic acid copolymer.

Independent Claim 175 words
A nylon molding material which has high impact strength and contains (A) a thermoplastic nylon having a relative viscosity of from 2.5 to 5, and (B) from 5 to 65% by weight, based on (A), of a non-crosslinked copolymer which contains three or more components and is characterized by a melting range of from 40° to 100° C., a glass transition temperature of below -20° C. and a shear modulus of less than 100 (Nmm -2 ) at -20° C., less than 50 (Nmm -2 ) at 0° C. and less than 20 (Nmm -2 ) at +20° C.; said copolymer comprising: (a) from 55 to 75% by weight of ethylene, (b) from 20 to 40% by weight of one or more primary or secondary C 2 -C 8 -alkyl acrylates or methacrylates and (c) from 0.5 to 8% by weight of a monomer selected from the group consisting of maleic anhydride, acrylic acid and methacrylic acid, the sum of components (a)-(c) being 100% by weight, with or without (C) effective amounts of conventional additives.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 175 words
A nylon molding material which has high impact strength and contains (A) a thermoplastic nylon having a relative viscosity of from 2.5 to 5, and (B) from 5 to 65% by weight, based on (A), of a non-crosslinked copolymer which contains three or more components and is characterized by a melting range of from 40° to 100° C., a glass transition temperature of below -20° C. and a shear modulus of less than 100 (Nmm -2 ) at -20° C., less than 50 (Nmm -2 ) at 0° C. and less than 20 (Nmm -2 ) at +20° C.; said copolymer comprising: (a) from 55 to 75% by weight of ethylene, (b) from 20 to 40% by weight of one or more primary or secondary C 2 -C 8 -alkyl acrylates or methacrylates and (c) from 0.5 to 8% by weight of a monomer selected from the group consisting of maleic anhydride, acrylic acid and methacrylic acid, the sum of components (a)-(c) being 100% by weight, with or without (C) effective amounts of conventional additives.
