  • Patent number: 9771438
    Abstract: A methacrylic resin composition, which comprises a methacrylic resin comprising 99.5% by mass or more of a structural unit derived from methyl methacrylate. The methacrylic resin includes less than 0.03 mol % of terminal double bonds based on the amount of the structural unit derived from methyl methacrylate and 0.2 mol % or more of combined sulfur atoms based on the amount of the structural unit derived from methyl methacrylate. The methacrylic resin composition has a melt flow rate of 8 g/10 min or more at 230° C. and a load of 3.8 kg.

  • Publication number: 20150148508
    Abstract: A (meth)acrylic resin composition comprising not less than 99.5% by mass of (meth)acrylic resin composed of 80 to 100% by mass of a structural unit derived from methyl methacrylate and 0 to 20% by mass of a structural unit derived from acrylic acid ester, wherein a difference between YI4 and YI1 is not more than 3, in which the YI4 is a yellowness index at optical path length 200 mm of an article obtained by injection molding of the (meth)acrylic resin composition at a cylinder temperature of 280° C. and a molding cycle of 4 minutes, and the YI1 is a yellowness index at optical path length 200 mm of an article obtained by injection molding of the (meth)acrylic resin composition at a cylinder temperature of 280° C. and a molding cycle of 1 minute; and the (meth)acrylic resin composition has a melt flow rate under conditions of 230° C. and 3.8 kg load of not less than 25 g/10 min.
