Abstract
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) resin is compounded with a conventional impact modifier referred to herein as a "co-modifier", and a block copolymer "ultra-modifier" which together provide a composition of unexpectedly enhanced impact strength. Irrespective of the characteristic particle size distribution of the co-modifier, which may be normal, bimodal or neither, the combination of ultra-modifier and co-modifier produces a broad distribution of small and large modifier particles. Better impact strength than with either small particles alone, or large particles alone is thus obtained. The ultra-modifier, which synergistically increases the impact strength of conventionally impact-modified vinyl chloride polymer compositions, consists essentially of a block copolymer of a vinyl aromatic compound and a conjugated diene, such as a styrene-diene (SD) diblock copolymer, or styrene-diene-styrene (SDS) block copolymer; the ultra-modifier is a polyblock copolymer, including linear diblock, triblock, tetrablock copolymers, and radial block copolymers including triblock and tetrablock copolymers. The co-modifier may be any elastomer additive, preferably a nucleated rubbery graft copolymer.
