Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for producing a thermoplastic ABS molding compound. According to said method, the thermoplastic copolymer A is produced from acrylonitrile and styrene by means of bulk polymerization or solution polymerization, while graft copolymer B, which is composed of a graft base (B1) and a graft shell (B2), is produced by means of emulsion polymerization using a redox initiator system, whereupon the thermoplastic copolymer A, graft copolymer B, and additional optional components K and/or additional thermoplastic polymers (TP) are mixed.

A process for the production of rubber particles containing 80-100 wt.% of a conjugated diene monomer and 0-20 wt.% of a monoethylenically unsaturated comonomer comprises emulsion polymerization in the presence of an emulsifier and an initiator whereby the monomers are added either in polymerized form as a seed latex or in monomeric form via subsequent in-situ polymerization to form a seed latex.
