C. Garrigues et al., THERMAL DEHYDROCHLORINATION AND STABILIZATION OF POLY(VINYLCHLORIDE) IN SOLUTION .12. TIN-CALCIUM-ZINC INTERACTIONS, Polymer degradation and stability, 45(1), 1994, pp. 111-113
The synergistic effect between calcium glycolate and organotin chlorid
e which has been observed in the crosslinking process of poly(vinylchl
oride) (PVC) is not at all effective for the thermal stabilization of
PVC. The addition of zinc compounds to an organotin recipe shows a mod
erate positive effect only for the initial coloration.
