Abstract: An impact resistant thermoplastic molding composition comprisingA. 80% to 98% by weight of polyvinyl chloride,B. 2% to 20% by weight of a modifying resin for improving the impact strength, characterized by an additional content of,C. 2% to 30% by weight, based on PVC, of a coated calcium carbonate, the surface of which has been treated with stearic acid and which has a particle size of 0.04 to 0.1 .mu..The composition is useful for preparing shaped articles, such as hollow articles.

Abstract: Impact-resistant molding compositions consisting essentially ofA. from 20% to 80% by weight of polyvinyl chloride having a K-value of from 55 to 70,B. from 19.5% to 75% by weight of a vinyl chloride grafted copolymer of ethylene and vinyl acetate, said copolymer having from 30% to 55% by weight of vinyl acetate monomer units and a Mooney viscosity of from 20 to 50, said vinyl chloride grafted copolymer having from 5% to 15% by weight of said copolymer and a K-value of from 55 to 70, andC. from 0.5% to 5% by weight of an ethylene/vinyl acetate copolymer having from 60% to 70% by weight of vinyl acetate monomer units.
