Abstract
Abstract A vinyl chloride resin composition comprises: (1) 100 parts of vinyl chloride polymer; and (2) 0.1 to 30 parts of a polymer processing aid comprising: (A) 40 to 90 parts of a copolymer comprising 80 to 100% of an alkyl methacrylate, and 0 to 20% of a monomer copolymerizable therewith; and (B) 60 to 10 parts of a copolymer comprising 20 to 79% of an alkyl methacrylate, 20 to 79% of an aromatic vinyl monomer, 1 to 49% of diolefin, and 0 to 20% of a monomer copolymerizable therewith, the copolymers (A) and (B) having been wet-blended to provide 100 parts of the polymer processing aid, all quantities expressed in parts and percentages being by weight. This vinyl chloride resin composition comprising a novel polymer processing aid not only shows an increased gelation rate, yields less ungelled particles and possesses excellent processability such as an increased elongation at a high temperature, but particularly possesses excellent mechanical properties because the impact strength of the composition is not appreciably lowered by the addition of the polymer processing aid.
