  • Patent number: 11866537
    Abstract: The present invention discloses an easy-to-process, opaque and high-impact methyl methacrylate-butadiene-styrene (MBS) polymer for polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and a preparation method thereof, and relates to the technical field of preparation of PVC additives. The easy-to-process, opaque and high-impact MBS for PVC has a core-kernel-shell (three-layer) structure, and includes the following components by mass: 1-20% of core, 70-85% of kernel and 5-20% of shell. The core is a semi-hard, lightly crosslinked copolymer of a styrene (St) monomer and an acrylate monomer. The kernel is a soft, lightly crosslinked butadiene (BD)-St polymer with a low glass transition temperature. The shell is a copolymer of St, butyl acrylate and methyl methacrylate (MMA) with a high glass transition temperature. The present invention solves the problems of low impact strength and poor processing fluidity of the existing MBS for opaque PVC products.
