Abstract

Abstract Modified impact-resistant vinylaromatic copolymers containing from 2 to 10% by weight of an ethylenically unsaturated nutrile and from 0 to 30% by weight of alpha-methyl-styrene and having a gel content higher than 23%, a cracking resistance, in an olive oil/oleic acid mixture under a load of 10 MPa, higher than 100 min., and a melt index below 1.5 g/10 minutes.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim 81 words
An impact-resistant styrene copolymer containing from 2 to 8% by weight of an ethylenically unsaturated nitrile and from 8 to 30% by weight of alphamethylstyrene and having a gel content higher than 23%, a cracking resistance, in an oil/oleic acid mixture in a 50/50 ratio by weight and under a load of 10 MPa higher than 100 minutes, a melt index (200° C./5 kg) lower than 1.5 g/10 minutes and obtained by polymerization carried out in the absence of lubricating oils.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 81 words
An impact-resistant styrene copolymer containing from 2 to 8% by weight of an ethylenically unsaturated nitrile and from 8 to 30% by weight of alphamethylstyrene and having a gel content higher than 23%, a cracking resistance, in an oil/oleic acid mixture in a 50/50 ratio by weight and under a load of 10 MPa higher than 100 minutes, a melt index (200° C./5 kg) lower than 1.5 g/10 minutes and obtained by polymerization carried out in the absence of lubricating oils.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 17 words
