Abstract
Gel, or unfluxed PVC grains commonly present in PVC plasticized with high molecular weight ethylene copolymer plasticizers, can be reduced by using an improved production process which involves substituting a modifier, which is partially crosslinked high molecular weight ethylene copolymer, for a portion of the non-crosslinked high molecular weight ethylene copolymer plasticizer. Preferably the modifier also contains a small mount of a low molecular weight plasticizer to counteract the effect of viscosity increase which the partially crosslinked ethylene copolymer otherwise would produce.
