Dry blends of a PVC resin with various plasticizer mixtures were processed at different temperatures to produce samples of different degrees of fusion. The ease of fusion increased with decreasing the solid‐gel transition temperature ( Tm ) of the plasticizer mixture. Nevertheless. Tm was not necessarily a linear function of the individual concentration of plasticizers in the mixture. Therefore, the ease of fusion showed in some cases an optimum at a given concentration of the plasticizer mixture.
