  • Patent number: 10988605
    Abstract: Polyvinyl chloride compositions and films formed therefrom are described which exhibit improved printability and resistance to weathering. The compositions generally comprise polyvinyl chloride, at least one plasticizer, at least one heat stabilizer, certain UV stabilizer(s), and print additives and/or other agents. In particular versions, the compositions utilize a combination of polyvinyl chloride resins. Also described are various vinyl-based laminates using the films which can be for example reflective products. Also described are methods of producing the noted laminates.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 5455319
    Abstract: The present invention to a method of synthesizing poly(vinyl halide) by means of a free radical polymerization which mimics a "living" radical polymerization in the presence of an iodine containing chain transfer agent containing at least one iodine atom bonded to a primary carbon atom and having the formula:R--CH.sub.2 I (I)R--CHX I (II),R--CH(X)--CH.sub.2 I (III),R--CH(X)--CHX I (IV), orR--CH(X)--CH.sub.2 --CHX I (V),wherein X is fluorine, chlorine, bromine, or iodine, R is hydrogen, C.sub.1, C.sub.2, C.sub.3, C.sub.4, C.sub.5 alkyl, any of which are linear or branched, cyanoalkyl, cyclohexyl, methyl cyclohexyl, phenyl, benzyl, and halogenated or oxygenated derivatives thereof.In accordance with the invention there is further provided a method of synthesizing 1-halo-1-iodoethane by reacting hydrogen iodide with vinyl chloride or vinyl fluoride in the presence of an iodine generating catalyst under certain specified conditions.

  • Patent number: 5430208
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of synthesizing 1-chloro-1-iodoethane by reacting hydrogen iodide with vinyl chloride monomer in the presence of an iodine containing catalyst under certain specified conditions. The resulting product of the reaction is a high yield, high purity 1-chloro-1-iodoethane which is useful as a chain transfer agent in the polymerization of vinyl chloride monomer. The 1-chloro-1-iodoethane formed by the instant invention can be made separately in a conventional synthesis apparatus or the compound can be synthesized in situ in the reaction vessel used for polymerization of vinyl chloride.

  • Patent number: 5345018
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of synthesizing 1-chloro-1-iodoethane by reacting hydrogen iodide with vinyl chloride monomer in the presence of an iodine containing catalyst under certain specified conditions. The resulting product of the reaction is a high yield, high purity 1-chloro-1-iodoethane. This 1-chloro-1-iodoethane is useful as a chain transfer agent in the polymerization of vinyl chloride monomer in a process which mimics a pseudo-living radical polymerization.
