Novel vinyl chloride copolymers including a hydroxyalkyl acrylate or methacrylate or allyl alcohol, an epoxy-containing vinyl monomer and an acid functionality from either certain carboxylic acid-containing monomers or a phosphorus ester moiety in selected proportions provide suitable binder resins for applications such as magnetic recording media, imparting desirable thermal stability together with enhanced dispersion and magnetic property characteristics and miscibility with elastomers employed in such media.
