Inventors include Park, Chun Ho; Kim, Seo Hwa; Cho, Yun Kyoung; An, Yong Hee; Kim, Ho Hoon; Jang, Jeongmin; and Hwang, Hyeri.

The application for the patent was published on August 07, 2026, under issue no. 32/2026.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a thermoplastic resin composition, a method for preparing same, and a molded article comprising same and, more specifically, to a thermoplastic resin composition, a method for preparing same, and a molded article comprising same, the thermoplastic resin composition comprising: (A-1) 4 to 31 wt% of an alkyl acrylate-aromatic vinyl compound-vinyl cyanide compound graft copolymer containing an alkyl acrylate rubber having an average particle diameter of 50 to 150 nm; (A-2) 1 to 22 wt % of an alkyl acrylate-aromatic vinyl compound-vinyl cyanide compound graft copolymer containing an alkyl acrylate rubber having an average particle diameter of 150 nm (exclusive) to 600 nm (inclusive); (B) 55 to 77 wt% of an aromatic vinyl compound-vinyl cyanide compound copolymer; (C) 7 to 12.5 wt % of a white pigment; and (D) 3.5 to 8 wt% of a white pigment auxiliary agent having an average particle size of 2 µm or less. According to the present invention, a thermoplastic resin composition, a method for preparing same, and a molded article comprising same can be provided wherein the thermoplastic resin composition maintains excellent physical properties of a conventional ASA-based resin, implements high whiteness even with a reduced input amount of a white pigment, exhibits excellent thin film processability, hiding power, and glossiness, displays superior appearance quality due to the absence of protrusions on a surface, and reduces manufacturing costs.
