A styrenic copolymer composition comprising 55% to 94% by weight of one or
more styrenic monomers; 2% to 25% by weight of one or more maleate-type
monomers; and 4% to 20% by weight of an elastomer composition comprising
one or more partially hydrogenated elastomeric polymers comprising repeat
units from one or more monomers according to the formula 63% 1,4
cis/trans butadiene, 1% 1,2 vinyl butadiene, 26% tetramethylene, and 10%
butylene. The styrenic copolymer composition may also comprise one or
more high molecular weight elastomeric polymers having a number average
molecular weight of greater than 12,000 and optionally, polybutene. The
styrenic copolymer composition is formed via polymerizing methods. A
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.
