Abstract
Abstract A process for producing reinforced polymers comprising the step of polymerizing vinyl chloride in the presence of a phyllosilicate filler such as asbestos, the improvement wherein said polymerizing is conducted in the presence of 1-20 percent by weight water based on the weight of the phyllosilicate filler, and preferably with the addition of a small amount of alcohol.
