Molding material for a household plumbing equipment and a household plumbing equipment fabricated using the same

Abstract

Providing: a molding material for a household plumbing equipment which has superior surface hardness as well as superior water resistance for use in the household plumbing equipment inherent from a polymethyl methacrylate resin, and yet has improved solvent resistance; and a household plumbing equipment fabricated using the molding material. The molding material for a household plumbing equipment is characterized by containing a thermoplastic resin comprising the polymethyl methacrylate resin and a polytrimethylene terephthalate resin in a mass ratio of 90:10-50:50.

1 . A molding material for a household plumbing equipment, said molding material containing a thermoplastic resin comprising a polymethyl methacrylate resin and a polytrimethylene terephthalate resin in a mass ratio of 90:10-50:50. 
     
     
         2 . The molding material as defined in  claim 1  is adapted for use in fabrication of the household plumbing equipment which is installed or adapted within a house for use in a wet condition. 
     
     
         3 . The molding material as defined in  claim 1  is adapted for use in fabrication of the household plumbing equipment including a toilet, a hand wash basin, a face wash basin, a wash-related small article, a bathroom shelf, a bathtub, and a bathroom small article. 
     
     
         4 . A household plumbing equipment fabricated from the molding material as defined in  claim 1 . 
     
     
         5 . The household plumbing equipment as set forth in  claim 4  comprises an equipment which is installed or adapted within a house for use in a wet condition. 
     
     
         6 . The household plumbing equipment as set forth in  claim 4  includes a toilet, a hand wash basin, a face wash basin, a wash-related small article, a bathroom shelf, a bathtub, and a bathroom small article.
