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
a first a first high molecular weight elastomer polymer having a number
average molecular weight of greater than 12,000, a particle size ranging
from about 0.05 micron to about 1.0 micron, and ranging from 50 to 99% by
weight based on the weight of the elastomer composition, and a second
high molecular weight elastomer polymer having a number average molecular
weight of greater than 12,000, a particle size ranging from about 0.50 to
about 3.0 microns, and ranging from 1.0% to 50% by weight based on the
weight of the elastomer composition. The styrenic copolymer composition
optionally further comprises from about 0.1 to about 8.0% by weight. 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.
