Processability improver and vinyl chloride resin composition containing the same

Abstract

Generation of air marks and flow marks is prevented when a vinyl chloride resin is molded into a sheet or the like. To a vinyl chloride resin is added a processing aid for a vinyl chloride resin comprising a copolymer composition containing, (A) 70 to 99 parts by weight of a copolymer obtained by polymerizing a monomer mixture comprising 50 to 99% by weight of methyl methacrylate, 1 to 50% by weight of an aromatic vinyl compound and 0 to 30% by weight of another monomer copolymerizable with these components, said copolymer having a specific viscosity at 30° C. of 0.3 to 1.8 when 0.4 g of said copolymer is dissolved in 100 ml of toluene; and (B) 1 to 30 parts by weight of a copolymer obtained by polymerizing a monomer mixture comprising 0 to 60% by weight of methyl methacrylate, 40 to 100% by weight of methacrylic ester other than methyl methacrylate and/or 40 to 99% by weight of acrylic ester, and 0 to 50% by weight of another monomer copolymerizable with these components, the total amount of (A) and (B) being 100 parts by weight, wherein said copolymer composition has a specific viscosity at 30° C. of 0.3 to 2.0 when 0.4 g of said copolymer composition is dissolved in 100 ml of toluene.
