Abstract
Since neat PVC is rigid, in all applications a plasticizer is added. Migration of the plasticizer results in brittleness of flexible PVC and environmental pollution. We have used three types of cross-linking agent blended with commercial PVC, plasticizer and thermal stabilizer. Heat treatments at 100С, 121С and 136C were performed. We made tensile tests, dynamic friction tests, wear rate determination, scratch resistance determination, water absorption tests and SEM analysis – to make selection of compositions suitable for sufficient cross-linking for long term applications.
