Product Description
OXY 160 is an extremely low molecular weight suspension polymerized polyvinyl chloride homopolymer resin. It is readily adapted to operations having a minimum of energy available to generate fusion or where the product cannot be subjected to conditions required to fuse higher molecular weight resins. When used alone in formulations, the compound will have good clarity and flow properties. It is also recommended as a modifying resin with both homopolymer and copolymer resins.
