Abstract
Abstract A foamable polyvinyl chloride (PVC) resin formulation containing (1) a copolymer formed by emulsion polymerizing from about 70% to about 90% vinyl chloride, from about 5% to about 15% vinyl acetate and from about 5% to about 15% of a bis(hydrocarbyl)vinylphosphonate; (2) a polyester or epoxy plasticizer (or mixture thereof) and (3) 4,4'-oxybis (benzene sulfonyl hydrazide) is foamed to form a product having a smooth unblistered surface, good cell quality and medium density. The foaming can take place at a temperature of from about 320 DEG F. (160 DEG C.) to about 400 DEG F. (204 DEG C.) for a period of time of from about 6 to about 20 minutes.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
143 words
A foamable resin formulation which consists essentially of: a. a copolymer consisting essentially of from about 70% to about 90%, by weight, of vinyl chloride, from about 5% to 15%, by weight, of vinyl acetate and about 5% to 15% by weight of a bis(hydrocarbyl)vinylphosphonate of the formula ##STR2## wherein X is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, halogen, cyano, phenyl and C 1 -C 18 alkyl and where R and R' are C 1 - C 12 alkyl groups; b. an effective amount of a plasticizer selected from the group consisting of polyester plasticizers made from the reaction of a dibasic acid and dihydric alcohol, epoxy plasticizers made by the epoxidation of vegetable oils or fatty acids, and mixtures thereof for plasticization of the copolymer; and c. an effective amount for expansion of a 4,4' -oxybis (benzene sulfonyl hydrazide) blowing agent.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
