In order to improve productivity in injection molding, it is necessary to improve the fluidity of the resin without compromising transparency or mechanical strength, and to reduce the cooling time during injection molding. Although it is necessary to improve the heat resistance of existing molding materials, the current problem is that improving the heat resistance of existing molding materials causes problems such as a decrease in fluidity and a decrease in mechanical strength.

If the copolymerization ratio of the methacrylic resin of the present invention is outside this range, the molded product will not have both heat resistance and productivity during mass production. That is, the number of methyl methacrylate units is 9.
If the weight exceeds 9.5, the molecular weight must be lowered to maintain molding fluidity of the resin, resulting in a decrease in mechanical strength. On the other hand, if the number of cyclohexyl acrylate units exceeds 20 f4, the heat resistance will be extremely poor, which is not preferable.

In addition, the polymer obtained by copolymerizing 30 parts of cyclohexyl acrylate and 70 parts of methyl methacrylate (Comparative Example 3) has very low heat resistance during extrusion shaping, so it cannot be pelletized and is not practical. However, the polymer obtained by polymerizing 100 parts of methyl methacrylate (Comparative Example 4) had an MPR of 22. ,5
f 710 minutes, and the fluidity is almost the same as that of Example 2 and Comparative Example 1. However, the tensile strength is less than half of each, indicating that it lacks practicality.
