A resin composition for a light guide article-preform is described, which enables the formation of a foamed layer having a large light scattering effect on the surface of a shaped article by laser irradiation processing at low cost. More specifically, the present invention relates to: a resin composition for a light guide article-preform, which contains a resin having a mass average molecular weight of 60,000 to 150,000, and has a 30% thermal mass reduction temperature of 310&#xb0; C. or lower and a difference between a 40% thermal mass reduction temperature and a 20% thermal mass reduction temperature of 7&#xb0; C. or less when a thermal mass measurement is performed with starting from the state at 100&#xb0; C. under air at a temperature rising rate of 5&#xb0; C./min.

A viscosity modifier for plastisol compositions which contains at least one selected from the group consisting of: (A) a compound having at least one of a carboxy group or a salt thereof, an alkoxy group, and a glycidyl group; (B) amine compounds; and (C) metal chelate compounds. A plastisol composition containing the viscosity modifier and a polymer. A product having a coating layer obtained from the composition. A molded product obtained by using the composition. This viscosity modifier has an excellent effect of decreasing viscosity of a plastisol composition, thus enabling acquisition of a plastisol composition which allows an excellent cured product to be obtained at a low cost.

A plastisol composition of the present invention comprises a polyalkylene glycol and/or a polyalkylene glycol derivative (X) and polymer particles (Y). This composition uses non-halogen based polymer particles with no halogen atoms, which do not emit materials such as hydrogen chloride gas or dioxin on incineration, and does not require a phthalic acid based plasticizer as a dispersion medium, and consequently provides an extremely large reduction in environmental impact. Furthermore, by using the plastisol composition, a gelled film having no bleed out of the dispersion medium, superior dispersion medium retention characteristics, workability, and processability is obtained. In addition, by using the plastisol composition of the present invention, a gelled film or an article with excellent mechanical characteristics are provided. The composition of the present invention is suitably used as materials such as wallpaper, floorings, vehicle undercoats, and vehicle body sealers.

Plastisol composition, gelled film and article

A plastisol composition comprising (A) polymer fine particles comprising a polymer (a1) which undergoes a chemical reaction upon heating whereby it is converted from incompatibility to compatibility with a plasticizer (B), (B) a plasticizer, and (C) a reactive component which chemically reacts with the polymer (a1) upon heating to convert the polymer (a1) from incompatibility to compatibility with the plasticizer (B). The composition has satisfactory storage stability, exhibits no bleed-out of the plasticizer after heating, and gives molded products with excellent mechanical properties.
