Geon® Performance Solutions 180 Series 186A Polyvinyl Chloride Homopolymer (PVC Homopolymer)
Categories: Polymer; Thermoplastic; Vinyl (PVC)

Material Notes: Geon® 186A is low molecular weight homopolymer resin, providing a good balance of fused film physical properties and fusion characteristics. It provides excellent chemical foam characteristics with good overblow resistance. It gives good dispersability for plastisol preparation. Geon® 186A is recommended for applications where an overall balance of good rheological and fused film physical properties are required such as low density chemcially blown foams, fabric coating applications, and plastisol screen printing inks.

Note: The value set forth represent typical values and PolyOne Corporation, therefore, makes no representation that the material in any particular shipment will conform to the listed properties. Packaging: This resin is shipped in multi-wall paper bags, net weight 50 lbs, 2500 lbs per pallet. Information shown on the package includes commercial identification number, lot and weight. Geon® ALTC and ASTM D638 (formulation): 100phr Geon® 186A, 57phr DINP, 3phr ESO, and 2phr Therm-Chek SP 120 LOHF Geon® STP 390 (formulation): 100phr Geon® 186A, and 60phr DOP
