Abstract

Provided is an eco-friendly poly(propylene carbonate) resin composition for a sheet, which is characterized by using a poly(alkylene carbonate) resin developed by efficiently utilizing carbon dioxide, which is a major contributor to global warding, as a main material, and including appropriate additives, such as, a strength modifier, and a flexibilizer, thereby completely solving environmental hazards controversy of the existing polyvinyl chloride resin products; exhibiting excellent mechanical and thermal properties, processability, post processability (printability, embossing and surface treatment, laminating characteristics) and superior anti-flaming property (low smoke density) and elongation characteristics as compared with the existing polyvinyl chloride resin products; and overcoming an extruding production method which is a small-sized production manner, corresponding to a big defect in thermoplastic plastics emerged as substitutes for polyvinyl chloride resin products and thus applying a calendering process method which is a mass production manner.
