Notes:
It is known that the fusion rate of rigid PVC in an extruder partly depends upon the lubricants that are used. In the present study it is shown that different stabilizers have a great influence upon the rate of fusion of rigid PVC. Results from extrusion experiments and the Brabender Plastograph strongly indicate that a correlation exists between rapid melting in the extruder and the melt viscosity-temperature relation of the polymer blend. The reason why certain stabilizers cause a more rapid fusion of the PVC is attributed to the chemical structure of the stabilizers.
