Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
223 words
A powdery foamable vinyl chloride resin composition for powder molding containing a foaming agent wherein said composition is produced by the following dry-blending method: a first step wherein from 40 to 120 parts by weight of plasticizer is blended with 100 parts by weight of a granular vinyl chloride resin having an average particle diameter of from 50 to 200 μm obtained by suspension polymerization or bulk polymerization to form first dry-blend particles; and after said first dry-blend particles have reached about 90° C. in the course of a temperature increase, a second step wherein from 0.5 to 40 parts by weight of at least one polymer or copolymer having an active hydrogen in the molecule (component A) and from 0.1 to 10 parts by weight of a crosslinkable isocyanate compound (component B) are added and dry-blended to cover said first dry-blend particles with said components (A) and (B), thus forming second dry-blend particles; and while said second dry-blend particles are cooling after they have reached a maximum temperature, a third step wherein from 3 to 25 parts by weight of a finely powdered vinyl chloride resin having an average unit particle diameter of 0.1 to 10 μm and obtained by emulsion polymerization or micro-suspension polymerization is added to cover said second dry-blend particles, said foaming agent being added in said first step.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
223 words
A powdery foamable vinyl chloride resin composition for powder molding containing a foaming agent wherein said composition is produced by the following dry-blending method: a first step wherein from 40 to 120 parts by weight of plasticizer is blended with 100 parts by weight of a granular vinyl chloride resin having an average particle diameter of from 50 to 200 μm obtained by suspension polymerization or bulk polymerization to form first dry-blend particles; and after said first dry-blend particles have reached about 90° C. in the course of a temperature increase, a second step wherein from 0.5 to 40 parts by weight of at least one polymer or copolymer having an active hydrogen in the molecule (component A) and from 0.1 to 10 parts by weight of a crosslinkable isocyanate compound (component B) are added and dry-blended to cover said first dry-blend particles with said components (A) and (B), thus forming second dry-blend particles; and while said second dry-blend particles are cooling after they have reached a maximum temperature, a third step wherein from 3 to 25 parts by weight of a finely powdered vinyl chloride resin having an average unit particle diameter of 0.1 to 10 μm and obtained by emulsion polymerization or micro-suspension polymerization is added to cover said second dry-blend particles, said foaming agent being added in said first step.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
34 words
The powdery foamable vinyl chloride resin composition for powder molding according to claim 1, wherein said polymer or copolymer having an active hydrogen in the molecule is a vinyl chloride copolymer or acrylic polymer.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
71 words
The powdery foamable vinyl chloride resin composition for powder molding according to claim 1, wherein after the temperature of the dry-blend system has reached about 90° C. in the course of a temperature-increase and before it falls to about 100° C. in the course of cooling, the second step is carried out in which the acrylic copolymer having an active hydrogen in the molecule (component A) is blended with the system.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
70 words
The powdery foamable vinyl chloride resin composition for powder molding according to claim 1, wherein when the temperature of the dry-blend system falls to a temperature lower than about 50° C. in the course of cooling after it has reached a maximum temperature, the third step is carried out in which the finely powdered vinyl chloride resin obtained by emulsion polymerization or micro-suspension polymerization is added to coat the dry-blend.
