Mechanically compatible multi-phase composition made of polyvinyl chloride, chlorinated polyolefin, polyolefin and polyolefin graft copolymer as well as a fiber-reinforced composite material made from it.

摘要

Shaped articles which have excellent solvent resistance and resistance to fatty acids are formed from a thermoplastic polyblend of poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC), chlorinated polyethylene (CPE), polyolefin (PO), and a graft copolymer of a polyolefin (PO-G). The thermoplastic polyblend contains a PO and PO-G (PO/PO-G) as a first continuous single phase, PVC and CPE as the second and third dispersed phases, and the relative amounts of the components are chosen so that there is, at most, an equal amount by weight of PO and PO-G each of which may be present in an amount as high as 40 parts by weight when the PVC is present in an amount in the range from 40 to 70 parts, so as to provide a mechanically compatible polyblend without miscibility or chemical compatibility. Further, a glass fiber reinforced (GFR) polyblend of PVC/CPE/PO/PO-G having a HDT of at least 95 DEG C and sufficient thermoformability to form the desired article has excellent notched impact strength. In the GFR polyblend the fibers are preferably long, at least 3 mm, and from 10-20 microns in diameter. The high HDT is obtained provided only if both co-compatibilizers and glass fibers are present in the reinforced composite.
