Patent number: 5302650Abstract: A vinyl chloride resin composition comprises: a mixture composed of 10 to 97 wt % vinyl chloride resin and 3 to 90 wt % thermoplastic polyester elastomer; and 10 to 200 parts by weight of a plasticizer with respect to 100 parts by weight of said mixture, the molecular weight of said plasticizer being 500 to 5000. This vinyl chloride resin composition can be easily melt bonded to polycarbonate resins which conventionally cannot be readily melt bonded. Therefore, the composition can be widely used in extrusion molding and injection molding. Furthermore, as a high molecular weight plasticizer is employed as the plasticizing agent, the problem of cracks can be overcome. In addition, since the necessity of using the adhesive agent in the manufacturing process can be eliminated, the overall cost can be significantly reduced.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 1992Date of Patent: April 12, 1994Assignee: Riken Vinyl Industry Co., Ltd.Inventor: Toshio Ito
