The invention relates to thermoplastic ABS molding compositions comprising components A) and B): A) from 5 to 80% by weight of a graft polymer A) having bimodal particle size distribution made from, based on A), a1) from 40 to 90% by weight of graft base a1), obtainable by polymerization of, based on a1), a11) from 75.5 to 89.5% by weight of at least one conjugated diene, a12) from 10.5 to 24.5% by weight of at least one vinylaromatic monomer and a2) from 10 to 60% by weight of a graft a2) made from, based on a2), a21) from 65 to 95% by weight of at least one vinylaromatic monomer, a22) from 5 to 35% by weight of acrylonitrile, and a23) from 0 to 30% by weight of at least one other monoethylenically unsaturated monomer, B) from 20 to 95% by weight of a thermoplastic polymer B) having a viscosity number VN of from 50 to 120 ml/g, made from, based on B), b1) from 69 to 81 % by weight of at least one vinylaromatic monomer, b2) from 19 to 31 % by weight of acrylonitrile, and b3) from 0 to 30% by weight of at least one other monoethylenically unsaturated monomer. The invention further relates to a process for the preparation of graft copolymer A and to the graft copolymer obtainable by said process. |
