| abstract |
Gels of hard-elastomer-hard block copolymers with at least 300 parts of extending liquid per 100 parts of the copolymer contain at least 50 parts (per 100 parts of copolymer) of a stabilizing additive which resists migration of PVC plasticizers into the gel when in contact with a plasticized PVC article. Styrene-(ethylene-butylene)-styrene triblock copolymers with organic phosphate stabilizers are preferred, these stabilizers tending to raise the gel softening temperature. |
