A stryrene/butadiene graft copolymer latex has a graft substrate component with a comparatively high content of repeating units obtained by polymerization of styrene. The graft copolymer exhibits correspondingly comparatively hard and soft regions with a high and a low Tg, respectively. Vulcanizable compositions based thereon can be used for production of latex foams distinguished by a low compression set in a temperature range from 20.degree. to 70.degree. C., a high tensile strength, and a high elongation at break, and by a high compression resistance.

Molding compositions based on polyvinyl chloride contain as the component imparting impact resistance homo- and copolymeric acrylic acid esters of oxethylates of phenol or of substituted phenols, wherein the difference of the indices of refraction n.sub.D.sup.20 (at least 20.degree. C., measured with the Na D line) between the basic polymer and the component imparting impact resistance at most is .+-.0.01; optionally copolymers with other acrylic acid esters can also be used in the molding compositions. The latter are inexpensive to manufacture and, besides transparency and weatherability, also have impact resistance.
