MODELLING MATERIAL AND ITS USE
A modelling material contains a binder in the form of a plastisol, wherein the plastisol contains essentially PVC (polyvinyl chloride) and at least one phthalate-free plasticizer. The phthalate-free plasticizer is citric acid-based, adipic acid-based, or benzoate ester-based. The material contains 5% by weight to 95% by weight PVC; 5% by weight to 30% by weight phthalate-free plasticizer; 0% by weight to 10% by weight stabilizer; 0% by weight to 10% by weight co-stabilizer; 0% by weight to 75% by weight fillers; 0% by weight to 5% by weight coloring agent; and 0% by weight to 5% by weight other additives.
