Abstract
Abstract A shapable and photogellable liquid or fluid polyvinyl chloride composition comprising a blend of polyvinyl chloride with sufficient plasticizer and about 13 to 50 parts per hundred of a photopolymerizable polymer to give a liquid or fluid composition. Preferably said composition may contain a photoinitiator and a polyvinyl chloride stabilizer.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
41 words
A polyvinyl chloride composition composed of 100 parts polyvinyl chloride, at least sufficient plasticizer to form a plastisol with said polyvinyl chloride, stabilizer amounts of a polyvinyl chloride stabilizer, about 13 to 50 parts of a photopolymerizable polymer and a photoinitiator.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
41 words
A polyvinyl chloride composition composed of 100 parts polyvinyl chloride, at least sufficient plasticizer to form a plastisol with said polyvinyl chloride, stabilizer amounts of a polyvinyl chloride stabilizer, about 13 to 50 parts of a photopolymerizable polymer and a photoinitiator.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
36 words
The polyvinyl chloride composition of claim 1 wherein the plasticizer is present in 15 to 20 percent by weight and the photopolymerizable polymer is present in 30 to 40 percent by weight based on polyvinyl chloride.
Claim 4
Independent Claim
84 words
A method of forming shaped articles from a liquid polyvinyl chloride composition comprising (a) forming a liquid polyvinyl chloride composition composed of polyvinyl chloride, at least sufficient plasticizer to yield a plastisol with the polyvinyl chloride, a photopolymerizable polymer and photoinitiator, (b) spreading said liquid composition against a shaping surface, (c) exposing said spread liquid composition to sufficient actinic light to give a gelled composition, (d) curing the gelled composition in a heat zone, and (e) removing said shaped article from the heat zone.
Claim 5
Independent Claim
84 words
A method of forming shaped articles from a liquid polyvinyl chloride composition comprising (a) forming a liquid polyvinyl chloride composition composed of polyvinyl chloride, at least sufficient plasticizer to yield a plastisol with the polyvinyl chloride, a photopolymerizable polymer and photoinitiator, (b) spreading said liquid composition against a shaping surface, (c) exposing said spread liquid composition to sufficient actinic light to give a gelled composition, (d) curing the gelled composition in a heat zone, and (e) removing said shaped article from the heat zone.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
22 words
The method of claim 3 wherein the gelled composition is removed from the shaping surface and heating to fuse the gelled composition.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
13 words
The method of claim 3 wherein the shaping surface is a rotating mold.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
23 words
The method of claim 5 wherein the shaping surface of the rotating mold passes ultraviolet rays to expose polymerizable polymer to said rays.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
17 words
The method of claim 3 where the shaping surface passes X rays, gamma rays or beta rays.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
16 words
The polyvinyl chloride composition of claim 1 wherein the photopolymerizable polymer is an ethylenically unsaturated polyurethane.
