Plasticized polymeric compositions based on vinyl chloride polymers

Claim 1

Plasticized vinyl chloride polymeric compositions having good physical-mechanical properties and being particularly useful as sheathings for electric cables, even at high temperatures, and containing by weight, per 100 parts by weight of the polymeric material, as essential constituents, from 0.05 to 3.0 parts of silica having an average particle size below 0.01 micron and a surface area larger than 200 m 2 /g; and from 0.0005 to 1.0 part of a phenol type antioxidant for vinyl chloride polymers selected from the group consisting of derivatives of alkylated phenols, bis-phenols and polyphenols; said compositions also containing, by weight per 100 parts by weight of the polymeric material, from 20 to 100 parts of vinyl chloride polymer plasticizers; from 0.1 to 10 parts of vinyl chloride polymer heat and light stabilizers; 0 to 10 parts of vinyl chloride polymer costabilizers; from 0 to 1.0 part of vinyl chloride polymer ultraviolet rays absorbers and/or optical blueing agents; from 0 to 4.0 parts of vinyl chloride polymer lubricants; from 0 to 10 parts of TiO 2 and/or carbon black; and from 0 to 100 parts of vinyl chloride polymer mineral fillers.
