Abstract
Abstract This invention discloses an improved method for powder PVC extrusion using particulate PVC resin specified herein which enables smooth, dull surfaces for extrudates under broad processing conditions, in particular at relatively lower shear and temperature. The resins are characterized as having an average particle size ranging from 50 to 125 microns, a DOP porosity of from about 0.27 cc/gm to about 0.5 cc/gm, and a friability rating of 5 or less, preferably 2 or less depending on the stock temperature range during extrusion.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
103 words
In a method for the preparation of pelletized PVC compound from powder, comprising the steps of mixing a polyvinyl chloride resin to form a powder blend and extruding said blend, the improvement comprising employing a PVC resin having a weight average particle size in a range of from 50 microns to 125 microns, a DOP porosity in a range of from about 0.27 cc per gram (cc/gm) of said resin to 0.50 cc/gm, and a resin friability rating of from 0 to 5 and extruding said compound to form pellets at a stock temperature of from about 315° F. to about 350° F.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
