Abstract
Abstract Polyvinyl chloride base molding compositions containing conductive carbon particles which have been treated with a fatty acid chloride have reduced melt viscosities, improved processabilities, and increased electrical conductivities, as well as improved dispersion of the carbon particles in the molding compositions. High density information discs having improved playback performance can be readily molded from these compositions.
