invention examples 1 to 11

[0219]The ca. 1100 μm thick extrudates of INVENTION EXAMPLES 1 to 11 all with 2% by weight of titanium dioxide and 15% by weight of SAN 06 were produced by mixing the ingredients in Table 8 in the proportions given in Table 8 and then drying the mixture at 150° C. for 4 hours under vacuum (<100 mbar) before melting in a PET-extruder, extrusion through a sheet die and cooling to produce the extrudates of INVENTION EXAMPLES 1 to 11 having a density of ca. 1.3 g / mL as summarized in Table 8.
