The new compositions include a polyphenylene ether, optionally a high impact polystyrene, optionally an effective amount of a flame retardant based on aromatic phosphate, and a low molecular weight polymer selected from a polyolefin glycol or a polyamide. , this composition not containing polyolefin, such as polyethylene. Such compositions, when molded are easy to paint, and have good adhesion properties between the paint and the molded compositions, unlike compositions containing polyolefins, such as polyethylene known to affect the adhesion of paints. In addition, the new compositions have good or improved Izod and Gardner impact strengths, and in the case of a polyolefin glycol such as polyethylene glycol, the mutual solubility of all the components of the compositions is increased. The invention also describes methods of preparing and molding these compositions as well as the molded products obtained using these methods. |
