Disc record and method of compounding disc record composition

Claim 1

A method of compounding a composition suitable for molding high quality disc records, all proportions of ingredients being expressed as % by weight of the final product, said method consisting essentially of: in a mixer, compounding about 60-70% of a copolymer of vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate resin suspension or solution containing about 12-16% vinyl acetate, about 26.2-36.2% of a suspension or solution type homopolymer of vinyl chloride having an inherent viscosity of about 0.65 and 0.2% of carbon black having a fineness of 181 Angstroms, and raising the temperature of the composition to about 115°-120° F, adding 1.2% of a 50% solution of N,N-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)-N-(3'-dodecyloxy-2'hydroxypropyl)methyl-ammonium methosulfate, and raising the temperature of the composition to about 125°-130° F, adding to the mixture about 1.6% of a sulfur-free organotin stabilizer compound containing about 16% by wt. of tin, and about 1% of a soybean oil epoxide having a molecular wt. of about 1000 and raising the temperature of the composition to about 135°-140° F, adding to the mixture about 0.4% of an esterified montan wax and raising the temperature of the composition to about 150°-155° F, and removing moisture and other volatiles from the mixture, rapidly cooling the composition to a temperature of about 100° F, mixing the cooled, dry blend of ingredients such that they are homogeneously fused into a melted mass, and cooling the melted mass.
