Abstract: An electrically conductive composition and a method for producing same, for example by injection molding. The composition includes a matrix comprising substantially a first thermoplastic component, a second thermoplastic component having a higher polarity than that of the first thermoplastic component, the second component encapsulating a plurality of fibers forming a network of encapsulated fibers within the matrix, and a carbon component preferentially attracted to the second component so as to make said network an electrically conductive network within the matrix.

Abstract: An asbestos-vinyl chloride polymer composition suitable for melt processing into rigid products is disclosed. The composition comprises (a) a vinyl chloride homopolymer, vinyl chloride copolymer or a mixture thereof, (b) up to 150% by weight based on the weight of polymer of asbestos, and (c) a stabilizer system composed of 1-5% by weight based on the weight of polymer of at least one organometal compound wherein the metal is selected from Ba, Cd, Zn, Pb, Sn, Ca or combinations thereof, at least 3% by weight based on the weight of polymer of epoxide and a compound selected from a polyol or a metal derivative of the polyol or an amino compound of polyacetic acid in an amount of 3-20% by weight based on the weight of the polymer.
