• the requirements of The automotive industry to the emission of volatile organic components are met by the erf ⁇ ndungswashen composition 2 at a processing temperature of 260 0 C and at a relatively high processing temperatures of 300 0 C.
• the inventive composition has a low residual content of acrylonitrile, wherein, surprisingly, the increase in the acrylonitrile content at elevated processing temperatures is lower than in the comparable, prior art composition comprising PMMA having a higher molecular weight.
• this composition 3 shows significantly higher emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and thus does not meet the corresponding requirements of the automotive industry.
• VOCs volatile organic compounds
• compositions containing weight average molecular weight PMMA in the specified range claimed by this invention have both improved melt flowability and improved mechanical performance (low temperature ductility) and low VOC emissions.
