Abstract
A copolymer comprising (a) vinyl chloride or a mixture of vinyl chloride and a monomer copolymerizable therewith and (b) 1,2-polybutadiene oligomer and/or epoxidized 1,2-polybutadiene oligomer. The plasticized copolymer can be molded into soft moldings having a low compression set and high tensile and tear strenghts. Also, by the incorporation of the copolymer into vinyl chloride homopolymer or copolymers, hard moldings having delustered surface can be obtained without conducting delustering operation.
Claims1
A composition comprising (A) 5% to 80% by weight of a copolymer prepared by polymerizing a reaction system comprising a monomeric mixture of (a) vinyl chloride or a mixture of at least 50% by weight vinyl chloride and a monomer copolymerizable therewith and (b) 0.001 to 10 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the monomeric component (a) of a compound having the following general formula:
- ##STR3## wherein X and Y are independently hydrogen, hydroxyl or carboxyl, n is an integer of 2 to 100 and m is 0 or an integer of 1 to 80.
- the polymerization being carried out employing a free-radical polymerization initiator;
- and (B) 95% to 20% by weight of a polymer selected from the group consisting of vinyl chloride homopolymer, vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymer, vinyl chloride-acrylate copolymer, vinyl chloride-methacrylate copolymer, vinyl chloride-ethylene copolymer, vinyl chloride-alkyl vinyl ether copolymer and vinyl chloridepropylene copolymer.
