  • Styrene copolymer compositions having reduced surface gloss and composite articles incorporating same
    Patent number: 6696165
    Abstract: The invention provides a weatherable low gloss styrene copolymer composition which requires the addition of from 0.1 to 20% by weight of the total composition, of a partially crystalline polymer such as a polyalkylterephthalate, especially polybutyleneterephthalate or polyethyleneterephthalate, or polyethylenenaphthalate to a styrene copolymer (A). The low gloss styrene copolymer composition of the invention has a graft copolymer resin which results from polymerizing one or more monomers (A1) selected from the group consisting of (i) aromatic vinyl compounds, (ii) ethylenically unsaturated compounds, and (iii) mixtures thereof, in the presence of an elastomeric rubber (A2) in particulate form.

  • Method and apparatus for applying a colorant to a thermoplastic to produce a visual effect
    Publication number: 20020081398
    Abstract: A visual effect, such as a granite-look, is produced in a thermoplastic product by directly applying a sufficient amount of at least one color-containing thermoplastic resin system to the surface of an extruded sheet of a thermoplastic resin. The color-containing thermoplastic resin system is applied onto the extruded sheet after it emerges from the die and prior to it entering the rollstack.
    Type: Application
