DETAILED DESCRIPTION We claim: 1.
A thermoformable polymer blend that is resistant to the solvent effects of halogenated hydrocarbons comprising: A) from 50.
1 to 59.
9 parts by weight impact modified monovinylidene aromatic polymer, comprising from 1 to 25 weight percent of a rubber and 75 to 99 weight percent of a monovinylidene aromatic polymer matrix having weight average molecular weight (Mw) from 50,000 to 400,000, said weight percents being based on the total weight of said impact modified, monovinylidene aromatic polymer; B) from 30.
1 to 39.
9 parts by weight of an olefin polymer, selected from the group consisting of homopolymers of ethylene and copolymers of ethylene with one or more C4- 8 .
alpha.
-olefins; and C) from 5 to 25 parts by weight of a compatibilizing polymer, adapted to increase interfacial adhesion between components A) and B), components A) and B) existing in said blend as co-continuous phases, and the sum of A), B) and C) being 100 parts; said compatibilizing polymer being an elastomeric styrene/butadiene/styrene or styrene/isoprene/styrene triblock copolymer having weight average (Mw) and number average (Mn) molecular weights of from 10,000 to 150,000 and containing from 25 to 45 weight percent styrene.
2.
A thermoformable sheet material comprising a polymer blend according to claim 1.
3.
A thermoformed article comprising a polymer blend according to claim 1.
4.
The polymer blend of claim 1 wherein the rubber component of the impact modified monovinylidene aromatic polymer is dispersed within said aromatic polymer as discrete rubber particles individually ranging in size from 0.
1 micron to 10 micron.
5.
The polymer blend of claim 4 wherein the dispersed rubber particles of the impact modified monovinylidene aromatic polymer exhibit a bimodal particle size distribution within the 0.
1 to 10 micron particle size range.
6.
The polymer blend of claim 5 wherein from 55 to 95 weight percent of the dispersed rubber particles have a cellular occlusion morphology and, in combination, have a volume averaged particle size of from 1 to 2
