Material Notes:
LACOVYL PB 8050 is a vinyl chloride homopolymer obtained by the mass polymerization process. It can be incorporated with plastisol based on microsuspension - or emulsion - polymerized PVC to :

• obtain a lower-cost formulation,
• reduce and stabilize viscosity in storage,
• enhance pseudo-plasticity,
• reduce gloss in surface layers,
• improve transparency and thermal stability.

By virtue of its exceptionally fine state of division, it can be used in the thinnest possible layers.

It is usable in every type of application, at up to 50 phr in certain cases.
