Abstract

AbstractIndividual action and synergistic effect in the combination of 6‐anilino‐1,3,5‐triazine‐2,4‐dithiol (AF), zinc stearate, and barium stearate on the color stabilization of PVC were investigated. In this system, AF selectively reacts with allylic chlorine atoms in PVC. Consequently, unstable allylic chlorine units were converted to thermally stable allylic structures, thus retarding the development of polyene sequences. Zinc stearate accelerated the reaction of AF with allylic chlorine atoms in PVC, forming the zinc salts of AF (AFZnSt, StC1–H35COO) by reacting with AF. Barium stearate reacted with ZnCl2 which is formed in the above reaction to give St2Zn and BaCl2. Consequently, barium stearate led to the selective reaction of AF with allylic chlorine atoms in PVC and the remarkable retarding effect of discoloration of PVC.
