  Process for the preparation of large surface area, finely divided precipitated calcium carbonate and filled polymeric ...
A filled polyvinylchloride polymer composition which comprises polyvinylchloride; about 9 phr of impact modifier; and about 4 phr of precipitated calcium carbonate having an average specific surface area of from about 75 m.sup.2 /g to about 85 m.sup.2 /g and having a coating thereon derived from a salt of a fatty acid.
Such polyvinylchloride polymer compositions filled with the fatty acid derivative coated precipitated calcium carbonate of this invention have enhanced properties of decreased shear stress, increased impact strength and an increased output level of polymer per unit of energy consumption without significantly sacrificing the transparency of the composition.
Polyvinylchloride formulations were prepared using a medium low molecular weight polyvinylchloride and a basic formulation suitable for bottle applications with 5 phr of impact modifier and various levels of 10% sodium stearate coated precipitated calcium carbonate having a specific surface area before coating of either 22 m.sup.2 /g or 85 m.sup.2 /g.
