Key Words: Polyvinyl Chloride; Polyvinylchloride

Material Notes:
LACOVYL RB 8010 is a low molecular weight vinyl chloride homopolymer produced by mass polymerization process using the Elf Atochem's latest technology.

Its characteristics are :

• Viscosity index (ISO 1628-2):80 ml/g,(K value:57). Apparent density (ISO 60):0.62 g/ml.
• ease of fusion and good flow characteristics in the molten state facilitating low temperature processing.
• good porosity and high apparent density providing high productivity in compound mixers and extruders.
• high level of purity due to the mass polymerization process giving finished products of very good transparency.
• a narrow range of particle size distribution.

* RECOMMENDED APPLICATIONS

• Provides finished products of high transparency, good gloss and free from fish eyes by:
• calendering and extrusion of rigid sheets and films.
• extrusion and injection blow-molding of bottles.
• Injection molding of rigid parts.
• Extrusion of small rigid profiles and monofilaments.
• Production of powder coatings by the fluidization method.
• Molding of gramophone records (Addition resin).

* EXAMPLES OF APPLICATION

• NAKAN RMA 705 N NAKAN RMS 501 L NAKAN RRS 40
