The present invention relates to a vinyl chloride polymer and a production method thereof. More specifically, the present invention provides a vinyl chloride polymer having a polydispersity index of 2.0 to 2.3 and a porosity of 60% or greater and a production method thereof in which a vinyl chloride polymerization seed having a conversion rate of 5-20% is first prepared through preliminary polymerization and then a vinyl chloride monomer is introduced into the vinyl chloride polymerization seed to polymerize (main polymerization) a vinyl chloride polymer.

This invention relates to a synergistic combination of molybdate salts (e.g., calcium molybdate) and magnesium hydroxide to suppress both smoke and flame in polymeric compositions, such as plastic piping, profile applications, wire and cable, semiconductor and electrical conduit application, to name a few. In some embodiments, the technology relates to polyvinyl chloride (“PVC”) and chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (“CPVC”) compounds, among other polymer resin containing compounds, having improved smoke and flame performance from the synergistic combination of molybdate salts and magnesium hydroxide.

Sometimes, a problem is obvious, everyone sees it, but nothing happens until someone decides to do something useful about it. Methods are herein provided for recovering heavy hydrocarbons from plastic materials and/or geo-formation. In one solution set, PVC waste materials are emulsified by an amine solvent in an aqueous phase, thereby extracting heavier hydrocarbons from the primary structure of PVC into the amine aqueous phase; followed by de-emulsifying the extracted heavier hydrocarbons by separating and recovering the amine solvent, and then separating the de-emulsified heavier hydrocarbons from the aqueous phase by a hydrophobic membrane.

The present invention provides a chlorinated polyvinyl chloride resin that provides a molded article having excellent heat cycle characteristics and excellent weather resistance, as well as a resin composition for molding and a molded article each including the chlorinated polyvinyl chloride resin. Provided is a chlorinated polyvinyl chloride resin, containing two components including a A.sub.30 component and a B.sub.30 component, the A.sub.30 component and the B.sub.30 component being determined by measuring the resin by a solid echo method using pulse NMR at 30° C. to give a free induction decay curve of .sup.1H spin-spin relaxation, and subjecting the free induction decay curve to waveform separation into two curves derived from the A.sub.30 component and the B.sub.30 component in order of shorter relaxation time using the least square method, and having a ratio of T5.sub.B to T.sub.B [T5.sub.B/T.sub.B] of 96% or more and 120% or less, where T.sub.B is a relaxation time of the B.sub.30 component and T5.sub.B is a relaxation time of the B.sub.30 component after heating at 200° C. for five minutes.

Plasticizer compositions are prepared by reacting a vegetal oil with isopentyl alcohol to provide a glyceride/fatty ester composition comprising from about from about 40 to about 80% wt isopentyl fatty acid ester, and reacting the glyceride/fatty ester composition with acetic anhydride to form an acetylated glyceride/fatty ester composition. The vegetal oil may be epoxidized before the reaction with isopentyl alcohol, or the acetylated glyceride/fatty ester composition first prepared and then epoxidized. Epoxidized acetylated glyceride/fatty ester plasticizer compositions are also described. Alternatively, plasticizer compositions are prepared by preparing a C4-C10 fatty ester composition separately from acetylated glyceride composition and mixing the compositions in a weight ratio of 3:7 to 7:3. The C4-C10 fatty ester composition and the acetylated glyceride composition may be epoxidized either before or after mixing.
