A thermoplastic sheet containing a polymer composition including a polymer
formed by polymerizing a mixture including 40% to 90% of styrenic
monomers; 5% to 45% of maleate-type monomers; 0.1% to 25% by weight of
elastomeric polymers with Mn greater than 12,000; and 0.1% to 10% by
weight of low molecular weight polymers that include one or more monomers
according to the formula CH.sub.2.dbd.CR.sup.3R.sup.2, where R.sup.3 is H
or a C.sub.1-C.sub.3 alkyl group and R.sup.2 is a C.sub.1-C.sub.22
linear, branched or cyclic alkyl or alkenyl groups. The low molecular
weight polymer has Mn of from 400 to 12,000 and can optionally include
functional groups. The thermoplastic sheet is made by extruding the
polymer melt composition to provide a thermoplastic sheet. The
thermoplastic sheets can be thermoformed into containers suitable for use
in microwave heating of food.
