Egg shell particles are added to PVC in different concentrations (5, 10, 15, 20 and 25) %wt. The five concentrations of egg shell powder are processed using the same thermo mechanical conditions. The mechanical properties of loaded film have been evaluated through several parameters concerning the elastic deformation based on measuring the load–elongation characteristics. No experimental difficulties appeared for all mixing ratio. The behavior of stress - strain curve is analyzed in terms of cold drawing model. Tensile at yield, toughness, proportional limit and elongation are suffering from a rapid decrease with increasing filler concentration above 15% due to non homogeneity in PVC loaded with different ratios of filler. Also the obtained results show that 15 % of filler concentration is the saturation value. The obtained results are explained in terms of the crack propagation and finally the filler contribution is reducing the cost
