Abstract

A mixture is produced, comprising from 50 to 95% by weight of at least one vinyl chloride-based resin, from 1 to 20% by weight of at least one olefin-based resin, from 1 to 20% by weight of a copolymer of ethylene and vinyl acetate which has a vinyl acetate content of between 10 and 35% and from 2 to 40% by weight of a copolymer of ethylene and vinyl acetate which has a vinyl acetate content of between 60 and 95%, and the product thus obtained is then processed.

The process makes it possible in particular to produce sheets which have good mechanical properties and which have a remarkable transparency.

Claims

1. Process for rendering mixtures comprising at least one vinyl chloride-based resin and at least one clefin-based resin compatible, characterised by producing a mixture which comprises from 50 to 95% by weight of at least one vinyl chloride-based resin, from 1 to 20% by weight of at least one olefin-based resin, from 1 to 20% by weight of a copolymer of ethylene and vinyl acetate which has a vinyl acetate content of between 10 and 35% and from 2 to 40% by weight of a copolymer of ethylene and vinyl acetate which has a vinyl acetate content of between 60 and 95%.

2. Process according to claim 1, characterised in that the mixture additionally contains from 1 to 20% by weight of vinylidene chloride-based resins.

3. Process according to claim 1, characterised in that the mixture contains from 1 to 10% by weight of a copolymer of ethylene and vinyl acetate which has a vinyl acetate content of between 20 and 30% and from 10 to 30% by weight of a copolymer of ethylene and vinyl acetate which has a vinyl acetate content of between 65 and 85%.

4. Process according to claim 1, characterised in that the vinyl chloride-based resin is polyvinyl chloride.

5. Process according to claim 1, characterised in that the olefin-based resin is an ethylene homopolymer.

7. Process according to claim 2, characterised in that the copolymers of ethylene and vinyl acetate are incorporated in the mixture by hot mixing.

8. Process according to claim 3, characterised in that the ocpolymers of ethylene and vinyl acetate are incorporated in the mixture by hot mixing.

9. Process according to claim 4, characterised in that the copolymers of ethylene and vinyl acetate are incorporated n the mixture by hot mixing.

10. Process according to claim 5, characterised in that the copolymers of ethylene and vinyl acetate are incorporated in the mixture by hot mixing.

6. Process according to characterised in that the copolymers of ethylene and vinyl acetate are incorporated in the mixture by hot mixing.
