Abstract
Abstract The invention relates to porous post-chlorinated polyvinyl chloride resins which contain or have incorporated therein a salt of phosphoric acid resulting in a substantial improvement in the thermal stability thereof during subsequent processing. The phosphate salt is added to the porous post chlorinated polymer from an aqueous solution thereof which optionally contains a surfactant, which wets the polymer particles and allows the penetration thereof by the solution. Post chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC) is the most preferred polymer or resin.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 16
Claim 1
Independent Claim
77 words
A process for producing post-chlorinated polymers having increased thermal stability during processing which comprises forming an aqueous solution containing a metal salt of phosphoric acid, contacting a porous post-chlorinated vinyl chloride polymer with said solution while agitating the mixture said polymer containing from about 64% to about 70% by weight of chlorine and from about 5% to about 65% by volume of pore space, evaporating the liquid from said mixture, and drying and recovering said so-treated resin.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
77 words
