Elastomeric interpolymer blends

A blend of (A) a thermoplastic material comprising a mixture of polyvinyl chloride reson and acrylonitrile/butadiene/styrene resin or (B) a rubber material selected from the group consisting of styrene/butadiene rubber and a mixture of styrene/butadiene rubber and natural rubber with (C) an elastomeric interpolymer which is a polyhaloacrylate/butadiene interpolymer prepared by aqueous emulsion polymerizating at a temperature in the range of about 5.degree. C. to about 60.degree. C., in the presence of a free radical generating catalyst selected from the group consisting of bis-azo isobutyronitrile, potassium persulfate, ammonium persulfate, benzoyl peroxide, p-menthane hydroperoxide, cumene hydroperoxide and mixtures thereof with a fatty acid soap, cationic, non-ionic and organic sulfate or sulfonate emulsifier, a monomer mixture of (1) 1,3-butadiene, (2) a monomer selected from the group consisting of pentachlorophenyl methacrylate, 2,4,6-tribromophenyl methacrylate. 2,4,6-tribromophenyl methacrylate, 2,3,4,6-tetrachlorophenyl acrylate, 2,4,6-trichlorophenyl acrylate, pentabromophenyl acrylate, 2,4,6-tribromophenyl acrylate, 2,4-dibromophenyl methacrylate, 2,3,4,6-tetrachlorophenyl methacrylate, pentachlorothiophenyl methacrylate, pentabromophenyl methacrylate, pentachlorothiophenyl acrylate, N-2,4,6-tribromophenyl acrylamide, N-2,4,6-tribromophenyl methacrylamide and mixtures thereof, and optionally (3) styrene;

• provided that when the elastomeric interpolymer (C) contains about 60 to 70 percent by weight of 1,3-butadiene units, there are present 60-80 parts of (C) with 80 to 100 parts acrylonitrile/Butadiene/styrene resin to 100 parts of polyvinyl chloride resin, and when (C) contains 30 to 35 percent weight of 1,3-butadiene units, there are present 100 to 130 parts of (C) with 35 to 60 parts of acrylonitrile/butadiene/styrene resin to 100 parts of polyvinyl chloride resins;
