A composition is prepared by melt blending specific amounts of components including a poly(phenylene ether), a first hydrogenated block copolymer (HBC1) that includes a polystyrene-poly(ethylene-butylene)-polystyrene triblock copolymer having a polystyrene content of 50 to 75 weight percent, and a second hydrogenated block copolymer. The second hydrogenated block copolymer can selected from five different hydrogenated block copolymer types and their combinations. The composition exhibits high light transmittance, low haze, and high impact strength at low temperature, which make it useful for molding objects such as containers for storage in refrigerators and freezers. |
