Abstract

A blend is provided which is suitable for preparing low density cellular products of the closed cell type, said blend comprising a vinyl chloride resin, e.g., polyvinyl chloride; a butadiene rubber, e.g., butadiene-acrylonitrile; and a liquid polyfunctional or monofunctional monomer, e.g., styrene. Insulation products such as sheets or tubes (for pipe insulation) are easily fabricated by freely expanding (i.e., without employing forming molds) blends of the invention which contain heat-activatable blowing agents.
