Abstract: There is disclosed a printable self-clinging flexible film containing a polymerized PVC-based resin, a primary plasticizer and a stabilizer. The film exhibits high tackiness and surface tension, and printing ink may be applied directly to the surface of the film. Compositions for forming the film, and related methods are also disclosed.

Abstract: There is disclosed a phosphorescent polyvinyl chloride ("PVC") film which exhibits an intense and long-lived afterglow. The phosphorescent PVC film contains a polymerized PVC-based resin, a primary and secondary plasticizer, a primary and secondary stabilizer, and a phosphorescent pigment. Within the practice of this invention, the primary stabilizer is solely a zinc-based stabilizer (non-zinc metal stabilizers are not employed); the secondary stabilizer is a tertiary organic phosphite; the primary plasticizer is a epoxidized soybean oil; the secondary plasticizer is selected from phthalates, adipates, trimellitates, azelates and phosphates; and the phosphorescent pigment is preferably a zinc sulfide phosphor. In addition to the phosphorescent PVC film, compositions and related methods are also disclosed.
