  • Patent number: 4213891
    Abstract: A plastic composition which emits a reduced amount of smoke when heated to flame temperature is thermoformable and high impact resistant is made by blending chlorinated polyvinyl chloride, a mixture of chlorinated polyethylenes, an alkyl acrylate polyvinyl chloride copolymer, and a mixture of a tin process aid and heat stabilizer. The plastic has application in thermoformed, high impact trim parts in aircraft and mass transit vehicles. The reduced amount of smoke emitted when the plastic reaches high temperature aids occupants of a plane or mass transit vehicle to visually find the high temperature source and/or to find their way to an exit when a fire, electrical short circuit or other high temperature condition occurs.
