An article is moulded from a thermoplastic synthetic resin containing a plasticiser which is insoluble in water, and the plasticiser is then removed sufficiently to give the article the requisite hardness or rigidity by treating the article with a solvent for the plasticiser which does not affect the resin. The article may be immersed in the solvent. The resin may be polyvinyl chloride or other vinyl resin, the plasticiser may be dibutyl phthalate and/or tricresyl phosphate, and the solvent may be white spirit, butyl alcohol, butyl acetate, ethyl acetate or petrol.ALSO:An article is moulded from thermoplastic synthetic resin containing a plasticizer which is insoluble in water, and the plasticizer is then removed sufficiently to give the article the requisite hardness or rigidity, by treating the article with a solvent for the plasticizer which does not affect the resin.
