Assignee:

Occidental Chemical Corporation - Dallas TX

International Classification:

C08J 910

US Classification:

521 73, 521 93, 521 95, 521 89, 521145

Abstract:

Polyvinyl chloride resin compositions and methods of preparation and use thereof for increasing the degree of whiteness in finished polyvinyl chloride foam. The resin compositions contain sulfur compounds selected from sulfonic acid derivatives, sulfinic acid derivatives, and mercapto acetic acid sodium salt, and optionally contain water soluble salts and/or t-butyl hydroperoxide.

Assignee:

Occidental Chemical Corporation - Dallas TX

International Classification:

C08L 2706

US Classification:

524569, 524292, 524296, 524297, 524298, 524527, 524567, 525239

Abstract:

A method of making an article from polyvinyl chloride compound that has a predetermined amount of gloss is disclosed. Samples of the resin are prepared that have different molecular weight distributions. Articles are made from the samples and the gloss of the articles is measured. The relationship between the molecular weight distributions of the samples and the gloss of the articles made therefrom is determined. From that relationship, an article is made from a resin selected such that its molecular weight distribution corresponds to the predetermined amount of gloss.
