• the invention further relates to a method for producing this plate and its use.
• thermoplastics which are processed into sheets, are, for. B. polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polycarbonate (PC) and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA).
• PVC polyvinyl chloride
• PC polycarbonate
• PMMA polymethyl methacrylate
• the amorphous thermoplastics can be easily reshaped using smoothing units or other shaping tools due to the steadily increasing viscosity as the temperature decreases.
• amorphous thermoplastics After molding, amorphous thermoplastics then have sufficient stability, ie a high viscosity, in order to "stand on their own” in the calibration tool. But they are still soft enough to be shaped by the tool.
• the melt viscosity and inherent stiffness of amorphous thermoplastics is so high in the calibration tool that the semi-finished product does not collapse in the calibration tool before it cools down.
• easily decomposable materials such.
• B. PVC are special processing aids for extrusion, such as B. Processing stabilizers against decomposition and lubricants against excessive internal friction and thus uncontrollable heating necessary. External lubricants are required to prevent snagging on walls and rollers.
• PMMA sheets also have extremely poor impact strength and shatter when broken or subjected to mechanical stress.
• PMMA panels are highly flammable, so that they must not be used, for example, for indoor applications or in exhibition stand construction.
• PMMA and PC sheets are also not cold-formable. During cold forming, PMMA sheets break into dangerous fragments. When cold-forming PC sheets, hairline cracks and whitening occur.
• DE-A-3 531 878 describes plastic films made of thermoplastic polyester which contain a UV stabilizer and have a thickness of 0.5-0.03 mm. These foils are obtained by extrusion blow molding and are therefore partially crystalline. Consequently, the method described in this document cannot be used to obtain an amorphous film with a thickness of 1 mm or more.
• JP-A-5 320 528 describes a thermoplastic resin composition containing an epoxylated polyester. According to a preferred embodiment, this composition contains PVC as the main component. The plates obtained from this by kneading are transparent and 1 mm thick.
• EP-A-0 471 528 describes a method for molding an article from a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plate.
• the PET plate is heat-treated in a deep-drawing mold on both sides in a temperature range between the glass transition temperature and the melting temperature.
• the molded PET sheet is taken out of the mold when the degree of crystallization of the molded PET sheet is in the range of 25 to 50%.
• the PET sheets disclosed in EP-A-0 471 528 have a thickness of 1 to 10 mm. Since the deep-drawn molded article made from this PET sheet is partially crystalline and therefore no longer transparent and the surface properties of the molded article are determined by the deep-drawing process, the temperatures and shapes given, it is immaterial which optical properties (e.g. gloss, Turbidity and light transmission) have the PET plates used. As a rule, the optical properties of these plates are poor and need to be optimized.
• optical properties e.g. gloss, Turbidity and light transmission
• these plates do not contain any UV stabilizers as light stabilizers, so that neither the plates nor the moldings made from them are suitable for outdoor use.
• these plates or molded articles show yellowing and deterioration of the mechanical properties due to photooxidative degradation by sunlight after a short time.
• US Pat. No. 3,496,143 describes the vacuum deep drawing of a 3 mm thick PET sheet, the crystallization of which is said to be in the range from 5 to 25%. The crystallinity of the deep-drawn molded body is greater than 25%. No demands are made on the optical properties of these PET sheets either. Since the crystallinity of the plates used is already between 5 and 25%, these plates are cloudy and opaque. These plates also do not contain any light stabilizers and are therefore not suitable for outdoor use.
• amorphous plates which contain a crystallizable thermoplastic as the main component, with a thickness of 1 mm or more could not be produced in sufficient quality.
• the object of the present invention was to provide an amorphous, transparent plate with a thickness of 1 to 20 mm which, in addition to good mechanical and optical properties, above all has high UV stability.
• a high UV stability means that the plates are not or only slightly damaged by sunlight or other UV radiation, so that the plates are suitable for outdoor applications and / or critical indoor applications.
• the panels should not yellow over several years of outdoor use, should not show embrittlement or cracking of the surface, and should not show any deterioration in the mechanical properties.
• Good optical properties include, for example, high light transmission, high surface gloss, extremely low haze and high image sharpness (clarity).
• the good mechanical properties include high impact strength and high breaking strength.
• the plate according to the invention should be recyclable, in particular without loss of the mechanical properties, and also flame-retardant, so that it can also be used, for example, for interior applications and in exhibition construction.

• Polyethylene terephthalates for example, begin to absorb UV light below 360 nm, their absorption increases considerably below 320 nm and is very pronounced below 300 nm. The maximum absorption is between 280 and 300 nm.
