  • Patent number: RE28982
    Abstract: A uniform blend of about 5-95% by weight vinyl chloride polymer having a tensile modulus of at least about 50,000 p.s.i. and about 95-5% by weight of at least one thermoplastic segmented copolyester .[.polymer.]. containing (1) about 5-90 weight percent long chain ester units derived from at least one long chain glycol having a molecular weight of about 600-6000 and at least one low molecular weight dicarboxylic acid having a molecular weight less than about 300, and (2) about 10-95 weight percent short chain ester units derived from at least one low molecular weight diol having a molecular weight of less than about 250 and at least one low molecular weight dicarboxylic acid having a molecular weight of less than about 300. These blends exhibit excellent abrasion resistance which is maintained even in the presence of a large amount of plasticizer, improved low temperature flexibility, impact resistance and increased scuff resistance.
