Abstract
An improved molding composition having a high thermal stability, including a vinyl chloride/vinyl acetate copolymer-based resin, sufficient finely divided conductive particles to obtain the desired conductivity, and from 3 to 20 weight percent of the modifying additive BLENDEX 586, which is a three-component blend of polyvinyl chloride, a graft copolymer of acrylonitrile, styrene and polybutadiene, and a copolymer of alpha-methyl styrene and acrylonitrile, as described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,053,800. High density information discs fabricated from this molding composition have improved dimensional stability and increased resistance to environmental temperature changes.
Claims11
In a high density information recording medium, adapted for use with a playback stylus to effect recovery of signals occupying a bandwidth of at least several megahertz when relative motion at a desired rate is established between said recording medium and said stylus, said recording medium comprising a disc of molded plastic material comprising a vinyl chloride/vinyl acetate copolymer containing a sufficient amount of finely divided conductive carbon black particles such that the material has a bulk resistivity below about 500 ohm-cm. at 900 MHz and having an information track constituted by a surface relief pattern in said track whereby said signals are recovered upon establishment of said motion at said rate, the improvement which comprises adding to said plastic material a modifying additive comprising a three-component blend of polyvinyl chloride, a graft copolymer of acrylonitrile, styrene and polybutadiene and a copolymer of alpha-methyl styrene and acrylonitrile in an amount of from about 3 up to about 20 percent by weight of the total molding composition, said amount being sufficient to improve the dimensional stability of said recording medium.
In a conductive molding composition comprising a moldable plastic material comprising a vinyl chloride/vinyl acetate copolymer containing a sufficient amount of finely divided conductive carbon black particles such that the material has a bulk resistivity below about 500 ohm-cm. at 900 MHz, the improvement which comprises adding to said plastic material a modifying additive comprising a three-component blend of polyvinyl chloride, a graft copolymer of acrylonitrile, styrene and polybutadiene, and a copolymer of alpha-methyl styrene and acrylonitrile in an amount of from about 3 up to about 20 percent by weight of the total molding composition, said amount being sufficient to improve the thermal and dimensional stability of said molding composition.
