Patent number: 6153698Abstract: A modified styrene-based resin composition in which silicone powder is added to styrene-based resin.One can obtain styrene-based resin compositions remarkably improved in impact resistance and sliding properties, particularly in permanence during sliding. In particular, when the base material is transparent polystyrene-based resin, it was found that the present invention can provide styrene-based resin compositions having excellent impact strength, sliding properties, and transparency without spoiling their fluidity and thermostability. In addition, use of rubber modified polystyrene as styrene-based resin permits styrene-based resin compositions exhibiting well-balanced impact resistance, sliding properties, heat distortion resistance, molding properties, workability, and surface appearance of molded articles.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 1998Date of Patent: November 28, 2000Assignee: Daicel Chemical Industries, Ltd.Inventors: Tatsuya Kanno, Shigeyuki Yoshida, Takashi Arai, Yoshiaki Yamaguchi
