Process for preparing rigid polyvinyl chloride stractured foams having superior surface characteristics

摘要

A new rigid polyvinyl chloride foam is provided which has been improved with respect to the thickness of its non-foamed layer and the surface properties including its tensile strength and compressive strength. The foam can be produced preferably by mixing (per hundred resin) dioctyl phthalate and 4-20 phr of an impact-resistance modifier such as a methyl methacrylate acid-butadiene-styrene copolymer with a composition 100 phr of vinyl chloride resin, 5 phr of processing aid, 2 phr of a heat stabilizer, 0.5 phr of a lubricant, 0.75 phr of a foaming agent and 0.75 phr of boric acid, and then extruding the resulting mixture from a single-screw extruder.
