Abstract
Abstract Impact resistant compositions comprising crude graft polymers of vinyl chloride on unsaturated olefinic elastomers, said elastomers being copolymers of ethylene, an alpha -olefin and a diene or a polyene, are prepared by graft polymerizing vinyl chloride onto an olefinic elastomer. The graft polymerization is discontinued before 70% of the vinyl chloride has been polymerized.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
143 words
An impact resistant polymeric composition comprising a mixture of the following components: a. a preformed vinyl chloride homopolymer, and b. a crude graft product obtained by grafting vinyl chloride onto an elastomeric copolymer of ethylene, an α-olefin and a minor amount of a cyclic or acyclic diene or polyene, said crude graft product comprising (1) vinyl chloride homopolymer, (2) a graft copolymer of vinyl chloride on an elastomeric copolymer, said graft copolymer comprising from 15 to 60% by weight of vinyl chloride, and (3) an unmodified elastomeric copolymer; said composition having a melt index (determined according to ASTM D 1238 at 185°C. with a load of 23.5 kg.) greater than 1, and containing from 5 to 15% of total rubber, which is defined as the sum of the amounts of elastomeric copolymer contained in components (2) and (3) of the crude graft product.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
143 words
An impact resistant polymeric composition comprising a mixture of the following components: a. a preformed vinyl chloride homopolymer, and b. a crude graft product obtained by grafting vinyl chloride onto an elastomeric copolymer of ethylene, an α-olefin and a minor amount of a cyclic or acyclic diene or polyene, said crude graft product comprising (1) vinyl chloride homopolymer, (2) a graft copolymer of vinyl chloride on an elastomeric copolymer, said graft copolymer comprising from 15 to 60% by weight of vinyl chloride, and (3) an unmodified elastomeric copolymer; said composition having a melt index (determined according to ASTM D 1238 at 185°C. with a load of 23.5 kg.) greater than 1, and containing from 5 to 15% of total rubber, which is defined as the sum of the amounts of elastomeric copolymer contained in components (2) and (3) of the crude graft product.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
26 words
A composition according to claim 1, wherein the olefinic elastomer is a terpolymer of ethylene, propylene and at least one cyclic or acyclic diene or polyene.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
37 words
A composition according to claim 2, wherein the olefinic elastomer is a terpolymer of ethylene, propylene and at least one member selected from the group consisting of butadiene, a 6-alkylidenenorbornene, norbornadiene-2,5, a 2-alkylnorbornadiene-2,5, cyclooctadiene-1,5, tetrahydroindene and 5-methyl-tetrahydroindene.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
47 words
A process for preparing a composition according to claim 1, comprising mixing a preformed vinyl chloride homopolymer with a crude graft product obtained by graft polymerizing vinyl chloride onto an olefinic elastomer, wherein the polymerization is discontinued when the vinyl chloride conversion is not higher than 70%.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
21 words
A process according to claim 4, wherein the polymerization is discontinued when the vinyl chloride conversion is between 30% and 70%.
