SolVin 173GB Polyvinyl Chloride Emulsion Polymer

Made by emulsion polymerization. APPLICATIONS Calendering : plasticized films and sheets Extrusion : rigid or plasticized pipes and profiles In most cases, SolVin 173GB resin is used in blends with suspension resins. CHARACTERISTICS SolVin 173GB is a polyvinyl chloride with a high K value, supplied in the form of a white powder consisting of cenospheres. SolVin 173GB includes polymerization additives which make it easier to process. Its intrinsic thermal stability is high. Compared with suspension polymers having the same viscosity index, SolVin 173GB resin permits lower processing temperatures and more rapid gelation ("processing aid" effect). SolVin 173GB resin imparts "handle" to plasticized calendered films and gives good impact strength to rigid extruded products.Information provided by SolVin.
