Patent ID: 7910028

Claim:
A process for preparing a molded article, having metallized surface and diffuse reflectance of from 0.7% to 1.3%, said process comprising: molding a direct vapor depositing resin composition which comprises at least one member selected from the group consisting of the following graft copolymers (A-I) and (A-II): (A-I) a graft copolymer obtained by emulsion-graft-polymerizing only at least one monomer component selected from the group of aromatic alkenyl compounds, alkyl (meth)acrylates and vinyl cyanide compounds, to a complex rubber-like polymer (G) obtained by polymerizing (meth)acrylate monomers in the presence of a polyorganosiloxane in the form of latex; wherein an average particle size of said complex rubbery polymer (G) is from equal to or more than 120 nm to less than 400 nm; (A-II) a graft copolymer obtained by graft-polymerizing one or more monomers comprising an alkyl (meth)acrylate as an essential component to a rubbery polymer (R) in which the content of diene units is 30% by weight or less (including 0% by weight) in 100% by weight of the rubbery polymer; and metallizing the surface of resulting molded article by direct vapor deposition.
