Effect of Base Oil and Thickener on Texture and Flow of Lubricating Greases: Insights from Bulk Rheometry, Optical Microrheology and Electron Microscopy

The structure and flow behavior of lubricating greases depend on the base oil and the type and concentration of the dissolved thickener. In this study, the linear viscoelastic properties of greases were characterized by combining oscillatory shear and squeeze flow covering a broad frequency range (0.1–105 rad s−1). Multiple-particle tracking (MPT) microrheology and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) provided further insight into local viscoelastic properties and sample structure on a submicron-length scale. The type and viscosity of the base oil did not affect the absolute value of the complex viscosity and the filament shape formed by a given thickener. High-frequency shear modulus data, however, indicated that the thickener lithium 12-hydroxystearate formed stiffer networks/filaments in poly-α-olefins than in mineral oils. As expected, the viscosity increased with increased thickener concentrations, but microscopy and high-frequency rheometry revealed that the thickness, length, and stiffness of the individual filaments did not change. In mineral oil, the 12-hydroxystearate thickeners yielded higher viscosity than the corresponding stearates with the same metal ion. The filamentous lithium thickeners created stronger networks than the roundish aggregates formed by magnesium and zinc stearate. Network mesh sizes varying between approximately 100 nm and 300 nm were consistently determined from SEM image analysis and MPT experiments. The MPT experiments further disclosed the existence of gel-like precursors of approximately 130 µm at thickener concentrations far below the critical value at which a sample-spanning network resulting in a characteristic grease texture is formed.

Cyanoacetylurea as a Thermal Stabilizer for Poly(vinyl chloride)

ABSTRACT Poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) has been widely used in many fields due to its excellent comprehensive properties, although its thermal stability is poor. In the article, a urea derivative, cyanoacetylurea, is prepared and its structure is characterized by means of FTIR and 1H-NMR. The stabilization effect of cyanoacetylurea on PVC thermal stabilization is evaluated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), thermal aging test and Congo red test. Meanwhile, the processability of PVC stabilized by cyanoacetylurea is investigated through dynamic performance test. Compared with calcium stearate (CaSt2) and zinc stearate (ZnSt2), cyanoacetylurea shows higher stabilization effect on PVC thermal stabilization than CaSt2 and ZnSt2. Also, the synergistic effect of mixtures of cyanoacetylurea, CaSt2 and ZnSt2 on PVC thermal stabilization is investigated. At last, the stabilization mechanism is discussed and cyanoacetylurea is able to absorb hydrogen chloride and to add hydrogen chloride on the carbonyl group, as well as postpone “zinc burning.” The results show that cyanoacetylurea presents a good thermal stabilization efficiency and can be a potential organic thermal stabilizer for PVC.

Preparation and characterization of waterproof autoclaved aerated concrete using molybdenum tailings as the raw materials

As a kind of solid waste, molybdenum tailings are used to prepare low density autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) (dry density ≤450 kg m−3), which greatly improve their utilization rate and reduce stockpiling. Several studies showed that hydrophobic agents could further increase the performance of AAC by reducing the water absorption and improving the thermal insulation properties. The present study investigates the impact of different water-repellents such as powdered silane, zinc stearate, water dispersible zinc stearate, and osmotic crystalline on the compressive strength, thermal conductivity, and water absorption of AAC. The amount of water-repellent to be added to the AAC samples is calculated by the mass of total siliceous and calcareous materials and the following concentrations of water-repellents are mixed with AAC: 0.05%, 0.1%, 0.15%, 0.2%, 0.25% and 0.3%. Spectroscopic and microscopic analyses revealed the content and morphology of the hydration products of AAC, and the changes in the pore structure. The obtained results clearly suggest that all the tested hydrophobic agents can reduce the water absorption and improve the compressive strength and the thermal insulation properties of AAC samples. Interestingly, powdered silane has the best effect when compared to other water-repellents tested in this study. The improved performance of powdered silane is due to the formation of a hydrophobic film on the surface of the pore wall, which, in turn, increases the content of tobermorite crystals, and reduces the pore size of AAC samples.

Rheological properties and dynamic thermal stability ofPVC/La L2/Ca‐Zncomposite stabilizer

AbstractLanthanum complex with curcumin (La L2)/Ca‐Zn composite stabilizer was prepared using La L2and Ca‐Zn stabilizer, in which Ca‐Zn stabilizer was obtained from calcium stearate and zinc stearate at their mass ratio of 5:1. The rheological properties and dynamic thermal stability of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) stabilized by La L2/Ca‐Zn composite stabilizers were estimated through a torque rheometer. The degraded fragments obtained from the torque experiments were measured by Fourier‐transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and ultraviolet–visible (UV‐vis) spectroscopy. La L2had an effective synergistic effect with Ca‐Zn stabilizer. Compared with La L2, La L2/Ca‐Zn composite stabilizer could more significantly improve the rheological properties and dynamic thermal stability of PVC. An optimal synergistic effect could be observed when the mass ratio of La L2with Ca‐Zn stabilizer was about 8:2, in which the plasticizing torque and equilibrium torque of PVC was 33.3 N m and 22.5 N m, respectively, and its dynamic thermal stabilizing time was 25.1 min. The possible thermal stability mechanism of La L2/Ca‐Zn composite stabilizer for PVC was suggested based on the evaluation of FTIR spectroscopy and UV‐vis spectroscopy.

Indium(II) Chloride as a Precursor in the Synthesis of Ternary (Ag-In-S) and Quaternary (Ag-In-Zn-S) Nanocrystals.

A new indium precursor, namely, indium(II) chloride, was tested as a precursor in the synthesis of ternary Ag–In–S and quaternary Ag–In–Zn–S nanocrystals. This new precursor, being in fact a dimer of Cl2In–InCl2 chemical structure, is significantly more reactive than InCl3, typically used in the preparation of these types of nanocrystals. This was evidenced by carrying out comparative syntheses under the same reaction conditions using these two indium precursors in combination with the same silver (AgNO3) and zinc (zinc stearate) precursors. In particular, the use of indium(II) chloride in combination with low concentrations of the zinc precursor yielded spherical-shaped (D = 3.7–6.2 nm) Ag–In–Zn–S nanocrystals, whereas for higher concentrations of this precursor, rodlike nanoparticles (L = 9–10 nm) were obtained. In all cases, the resulting nanocrystals were enriched in indium (In/Ag = 1.5–10.3). Enhanced indium precursor conversion and formation of anisotropic, longitudinal nanoparticles were closely related to the presence of thiocarboxylic acid type of ligands in the reaction mixture. These ligands were generated in situ and subsequently bound to surfacial In(III) cations in the growing nanocrystals. The use of the new precursor of enhanced reactivity facilitated precise tuning of the photoluminescence color of the resulting nanocrystals in the spectral range from ca. 730 to 530 nm with photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) varying from 20 to 40%. The fabricated Ag–In–S and Ag–In–Zn–S nanocrystals exhibited the longest, reported to date, photoluminescence lifetimes of ∼9.4 and ∼1.4 μs, respectively. It was also demonstrated for the first time that ternary (Ag–In–S) and quaternary (Ag–In–Zn–S) nanocrystals could be applied as efficient photocatalysts, active under visible light (green) illumination, in the reaction of aldehydes reduction to alcohols.

Synthesis of palm oil-base zinc stearate and its application on manufacture of rubber component

Palm oil-based zinc stearate synthesis process has been developed. Palm oil-based stearic acid and zinc oxide were used as material. The synthesis was performed using an oil-jacketed reactor with a capacity of 50 kg per batch. The reaction was occurring at 950C with atmospheric pressure and it took place about 10 minutes. The product characteristics was powder with a white appearance, 0.0 - 0.3 % fatty acid content, 0.2 - 1% moisture content, 118 – 1250C melting point and 0.5 - 1.1 g/cm3 specific gravity. The product of zinc stearate was also examined on an application of rubber component production process. Effects of using the zinc stearate to characteristics of the rubber component were tested. The characteristics included elongation, hardness and tensile strength of the rubber component. Application of 5 phr of zinc stearate on rubber component formulation showed that the rubber component processed using the zinc stearate has basic characteristic that meet the standard of rubber component of American Chemical Society (ACS) 1.

Improvement in the resistance against moisture presence in plasters and self-levelling screeds based of natural anhydrite waste

The anhydrite is a natural compound that co-exists alongside with the gypsum rock in some geological formations. Formulating new products for plasters and self-levelling screeds is the most common way to treat and recover the anhydrite waste in Europe. In this case, we´ll re-use natural anhydrite waste originated in a gypsum quarry located in the province of Alicante (Spain), having in mind this could be extrapolated to any other gypsum quarries. The compound is chemically composed of anhydrous calcium sulfate that could be activated through catalysts, hydrating and turning itself into dehydrate calcium sulphate (gypsum). The aforementioned material presents great aptitudes for self-levelling screeds due to its good reology and little shrinkage. Generally, they are used in building industry once the building envelope is finished and water tight as its water solubility restricts its use in damp environments. The current paper presents improvements in the resistance against water presence by dosing damp-proof product as siloxan derivatives and zinc stearate. There have been obtained important improvements in the reduction of superficial absorption and capilarity absortion. Also the effect of these aditives on the mechanical properties of the self-levelling compound have been studied in this paper.

Физико-механические свойства многокомпонентных нанокомпозитов на основе полиолефинов

The results of a study of the effect of the various types of fillers concentration at the nanoscale level, zinc stearate, aluminum, technical carbon — on the physical and mechanical properties of nanocomposites based on polyolefins are presented. High density polyethylene, low density polyethylene and polypropylene were used as polyolefins. In order to improve the compatibility of polyolefins with fillers, a copolymer of high density polyethylene with maleic anhydride was used as a compatibilizer. The amount of maleic anhydride in the high density polyethylene was 5.7 wt %. Investigated such properties of nanocomposites as ultimate tensile stress, tensile yield strength, elongation at break, static bending strength and Vicat heat resistance. It was found that the use of a compatibilizer contributes to a significant improvement in the main physico-mechanical characteristics of nanocomposites, which indicates the technological compatibility of the mixed components of the mixture with the polymer matrix. It was found that in the presence of fillers, the elongation at break of the nanocomposites slightly decreases. It is shown that an increase in the content of technical carbon in the polymer matrix in the presence of 5.0 wt % concentration of aluminum is accompanied by an increase in the ultimate tensile stress and yield stress during stretching of nanocomposites with a maximum at a certain ratio of the mixture components. It was found that in polyolefins characterized by a relatively high degree of crystallinity, the maximum value of the ultimate tensile stress is achieved at a lower concentration of technical carbon.

Anti-Gnawing, Thermo-Mechanical and Rheological Properties of Polyvinyl Chloride: Effect of Capsicum Oleoresin and Denatonium Benzoate

Anti-rodent polymer composites were prepared using non-toxic substances denatonium benzoate (DB) and capsicum oleroresin (CO) mixed with polyvinyl chloride (PVC) matrix. DB is mixed in zinc stearate (ZnSt) called DB/ZnSt, and CO, providing burning sensation, is impregnated in mesoporous silica named SiCO. There are three sets of sample: Blank, composites Set I and Set II. Set I consists of DB/ZnSt at concentration of 1.96 wt% and SiCO at concentration of 12.16 wt%, 14.47 wt%, 18.75 wt% and 23.53 wt%. Set II comprises SiCO at the same amount of Set I. The anti-rodent composites studied are anti-gnawing, surface morphology, thermo-mechanical and rheological properties. Anti-rodent testing is analyzed by one-way blocked analysis of variance (ANOVA) and compared with Tukey test with a 95% level of significance, presenting good anti-gnawing efficiency. The best rat-proof sample is II.4, consisting of SiCO 23.53 wt%, which presents percentage of weight loss from gnawing at 1.68% compared to weight loss of neat PVC at 59.74%. The addition of SiCO at concentration ranging from 12.16 to 23.53 wt% reduces tensile strength around 25–50%, elongation at break strength around 2–23%, shear storage modulus (G′) around 30%, shear loss modulus (G″) shear viscosity (η) and glass transition (Tg) around 43% compared to Blank. The increase in SiCO concentration slightly improves the thermal stability of PVC composites around 3%, but the addition of DB/ZnSt at 1.96 wt% slightly reduces those properties.

Influence of ingredients on the properties of the flame retardant compound based on polyethylene

In this paper, the effects of a flame retardant system combining ATH/MPP (aluminum hydroxide/melamine phosphate) and the other additives such as zinc stearate (ZnSt) on some properties of flame retardant PE compound based on LDPE were studied. The total flame retardant content was 35% by weight. Mechanical properties (tensile at break, elongation at break), thermal stability, and fire resistance were determined by the respective methods ASTM D638, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and UL-94 test. The obtained results showed that using the combination of ATH/MPP has increased the fire resistance and thermal stability of the PE compound. The sample CT7 (15%ATH/20%MPP/2%ZnSt) achieved the best fire resistance. The mechanical properties increased slightly when increasing the content of MPP and reached the maximum for samples containing only MPP. The SEM micrographs showed that the addition of zinc stearate improved the dispersion of ATH and MPP in the PE matrix. The effect of flame retardant additives and zinc stearate on the melt index value of the PE compound was also surveyed.

A flower-like waterborne coating with self-cleaning, self-repairing properties for superhydrophobic applications

A durable waterborne coating with superhydrophobic function has great application in construction, wooden furniture, vehicles, electronic instruments, and leather finishes. Here, we exploit a facile and scalable strategy for constructing durable wood products with superhydrophobic, self-cleaning, and self-repairing properties through a microencapsulation approach, which includes sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate as a carrier, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) as wall material, and vinyl triethoxy silane (VTES) as core material. The superhydrophobic character is attributed to the –CH3 in stearic acid molecules that successfully grafted onto zinc acetate to generate zinc stearate (ZnSt2), forming a micron flower-like arrayed on the surface of the wood. Combining an uncomplicated immersion and heat treatment route, the collapsed coating can be recovered and the surfaces with the superhydrophobic structure can be regained. This durable coating strategy has high application value in many fields, for instance, wooden furniture, wooden structure buildings, and the protection of historic sites.

Influence of a mixture of calcium and zinc stearates on the thermal and mechanical properties of PVC plastic

A complex stabilizer based on a mixture of calcium and zinc stearates was developed, which was used to replace the tribasic lead sulphate in the formulation of cable polyvinyl chloride plasticate. The influence of a complex stabilizer on the basic physical and mechanical properties of cable polyvinyl chloride plasticate is investigated. It was found that the use of a complex stabilizer in the formulation of cable polyvinyl chloride plasticate does not lead to a decrease in the thermal, technological and operational characteristics of the material. It is shown that the thermal properties of the cable compound containing a complex stabilizer remains at the level of the original plastic. This is due to the ability of the complex stabilizer to effectively bind hydrogen chloride released during the destruction of the polymer matrix. It is established that the cable polyvinyl chloride plasticate containing in the formulation of a complex stabilizer in its mechanical characteristics is not inferior to the industrial compound, and in some respects surpasses it.

Investigation of Artificial Ageing of PVC Stabilized with Epoxidized Sunflower Oil as Biobased Derivative

Objective: The objective of this work is to study the artificial ageing of semi-rigid and plasticized polyvinyl chloride (PVC) stabilized with epoxidized sunflower oil (ESO) as a biobased derivative in combination with zinc and calcium stearates. Methods: For comparison, a formulation of PVC plasticized and stabilized with epoxidized soya bean oil (ESBO) was considered. Artificial ageing was carried out during the 304 hours. Samples were taken off after: 48, 146, 234 and 304 hours and then characterized. The evolution of density, glass transition temperature and morphology, was followed as a function of the time. The structural modifications of polymer were analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy in attenuated total reflectance and transmission modes. Results: The results showed a little decrease of density, a considerable increase of the glass transition temperatures values and a change of morphology. All changes in the properties of PVC relate to formation of new chemical structures. Conclusion: Globally, it was found that ESO exhibited similar performances to those of ESBO.

Effect of Zinc Stearate and Pre-Compaction Pressure on Sintering of Alumix123 Powder

Toz metalurjisi yönteminde (TM) kullanılan yağlayıcılar, metal tozların sıkıştırılabilirliğini, akıcılığını, görünür, ham ve sinter parçların yoğunluğunu ve mukavemetlerini önemli miktarda etkilemektedir. Bu çalışmada, ön karışımlı Alumix 123 tozuna ilave edilen ağırlıkça % 1,5 çinko stearat (ZnSt) yağlayıcı katkılı karışım tozun sıcak preslenmesi ile toz metal (T/M) malzemeler üretilmiştir. Yağlayıcı katkılı ön karışımlı Alumix 123 tozlar, üç boyutlu karıştırma cihazında 40 dakika süreyle karıştırılmış ve 100, 300 ve 500 MPa basınçlarda ön sıkıştırma gerçekleştirilmiştir. Daha sonra 300-450 °C arasında kalıp sıcaklığı 50 °C artırılıp 15 dakika sürelerle bekletilerek toplam 1 saat yağlayıcı giderme işlemi yapılmıştır. Devamında, 540 °C sıcaklıkta 50 MPa basınç altında 30 dakika süreyle sıcak presleme aktif sinterleme işlemi uygulanmıştır. Yağlayıcı katkısız ön karışımlı Alumix 123 tozlarına da karıştırma süreci hariç aynı işlemler uygulanmıştır. Üretilen T/M malzemelere ötektik sıcaklık değişimli (548C10C) difüzyon tavlaması (DT) uygulanmıştır. T/M malzemelerin Arşimed prensibine göre yoğunluk ölçümleri ve sertlik ölçümleri yapılmıştır. Aynı zamanda üretilen bu parçaların metalografik inceleme yapılarak optik mikroskop, Taramalı Elektron Mikroskop (SEM/XRF) ve X-Işınları Kırınımı (XRD) analizleri gerçekleştirilmiştir. Yağlayıcısız T/M malzemelerde ön sıkıştırma basıncının artması, gözenek yoğunluğunu azaltarak bağıl yoğunluğu artırmıştır. Ancak yağlayıcı içeren numunelerde artan ön sıkıştırma basıncıyla azalan yağlayıcı giderme etkisi, T/M malzemelerde gözenek miktarını artırarak bağıl yoğunluğu düşürmüştür. Yağlayıcısız üretilen numunelerin yoğunlukları, sertlikleri ve alaşımlanma oranının yağlayıcılı malzemelerden daha yüksek olduğu belirlenmiştir.

Effects of additives on the cure kinetics of vinyl ester pultrusion resins

Pultrusion is a highly efficient composite manufacturing process. To accurately describe pultrusion, an appropriate model of resin cure kinetics is required. In this study, we investigated cure kinetics modeling of a vinyl ester pultrusion resin (Atlac 430) in the presence of aluminum hydroxide (Al(OH)3) and zinc stearate (Zn(C18H35O2)2) as processing additives. Herein, four different resin compositions were studied: neat resin composition, composition with Al(OH)3, composition comprising Zn(C18H35O2)2, and composition containing both Al(OH)3 and Zn(C18H35O2)2. To analyze each composition, we performed differential scanning calorimetry at the heating rates of 5, 7.5, and 10 K/min. To characterize the cure kinetics of Atlac 430, 16 kinetic models were tested, and their performances were compared. The model based on the [Formula: see text]th-order autocatalytic reaction demonstrated the best results, with a 4.5% mean squared error (MSE) between the experimental and predicted data. This study proposes a method to reduce the MSE resulting from the simultaneous melting of Zn(C18H35O2)2. We were able to reduce the MSE by approximately 34%. Numerical simulations conducted at different temperatures and pulling speeds demonstrated a significant influence of resin composition on the pultrusion of a flat laminate profile. Simulation results obtained for the 600 mm long die block at different die temperatures (115, 120, 125, and 130 °C) showed that for a resin with a final degree of cure exceeding 95% at the die exit, the maximum difference between the predicted values of pulling speed for a specified set of compositions may exceed 1.7 times.

Novel approach for rapid oil/water separation through superhydrophobic/ superoleophilic zinc stearate coated polyurethane sponges

Regarding the indispensable risk management of hazardous accidental releases through oil production and its transportation, spongy absorbents have recently gained wide attention as one of the most effective oil spill cleanup techniques to accumulate the oil in the bulk medium and effectively remove the oil pollution. In this study, a superhydrophobic/superoleophilic novel spongy absorbent has been developed. It is composed of a polyurethane sponge coated with zinc stearate (which is first ever introduced as a superhydrophobic material) and phenol-formaldehyde resin by the dip-coating method, providing both the necessary roughness and chemical hydrophobicity features simultaneously. Characterization by FTIR, SEM, and EDX mapping results showed that the zinc stearate was uniformly dip-coated throughout the polyurethane to roughen the surface; this occurred as the result of the strong chelating bonds formed between the carboxylates and Zn atoms on the surface. However, no significant change happened after immersing this product in acidic and basic solutions. The water contact angle measurements revealed that the static contact angle increased from 70° ± 2 on the unmodified substrate to 175° ± 2 for the zinc stearate-coated sponge. Interestingly, the dynamic water contact angle was also lower than 10°, sliding ~8°, and shedding ~7°, strongly confirming the excellent superhydrophobicity of the fabricated zinc stearate-coated polyurethane. Finally, the absorption rate and capacity of the unmodified and modified sponges using two different polyurethane densities for treating various oils and solvents demonstrated that the coated polyurethane spongy absorbent was capable of absorbing a wide range of oils and organic solvents in a time range of 30–50 ms and oil capacity range of 6–81 times their weight, depending on the different sponge densities.

Durability performance of Portland limestone cement mortar containing butyl and zinc stearate admixtures

The benefits of partial replacement of Portland cement by limestone are well established. This study investigates the impact of zinc and butyl stearates, as water-repellent additives, on the compressive strength, flexural strength, water penetration, absorption, chloride migration, density, drying shrinkage, and thermal expansion of Portland Limestone Cement mortars. The contents of stearates in this work are 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5% by mass of binder content. Spectroscopic analyses using scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction revealed discrete changes in the derived cement composite microstructure. The results of hardened mortar evaluation showed a negligible effect of zinc stearate on durability performance. In contrast to that, incorporation of butyl stearate in the mixtures enhanced resistivity to water permeability and chloride migration.

Enhanced the Thermal Stability of Polyvinyl Chloride via Synergistic Effects of Basic Lanthanum Tartrate with Zinc Stearate and Pentaerythritol

Basic lanthanum tartrate (BLT) was synthesized by a simple chemical precipitation method and was characterized by elemental analysis and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The effect of BLT on polyvinyl chloride (PVC) thermal stability has been studied through the Congo red test and the discoloration test. BLT displayed high stabilizing effect and the thermal stabilization time is 24 min when the percentage of BLT in PVC is 4%. The plasticizing ability of BLT is good. Tests indicated that when BLT was used as a stabilizer, the plasticizing time, plasticizing torque and balance torque of PVC were reduced. The BLT was also used to combine with one or more of zinc stearate, calcium stearate and pentaerythritol to form a composite stabilizer. When the mass ratio of basic lanthanum tartrate/zinc stearate/pentaerythritol was set to 3/1/1, the thermal stabilization time and discoloration resistance of the PVC sample were the best, and its thermal stabilization time was 44 min.

Thermal characterisation of metal stearate lubricant mixtures for polymer compounding applications

Metal stearate blends are potential lubricants and filler dispersants in polymer compounding. Therefore, the thermal phase behaviour of binary blends of calcium stearate and magnesium stearate with zinc stearate was investigated. Cooling curve studies indicated lower melting temperatures in both systems. X-ray diffraction studies revealed that this was due to the formation of solid solutions of variable composition rather than to eutectic formation. Rheology measurements showed that true fluidification only happened well above the apparent melting points established from cooling curves. Calcium carbonate filled polyethylene containing metal stearate mixtures showed lower melt viscosities than were achievable using only calcium- or magnesium stearate as the lubricant. These results suggest that metal stearate blends, in combination with a judiciously selected wax component, may offer advantages in lowering compound melt viscosity and facilitating better particle dispersion.

ADDUCTS OF SUBSTITUTED VINYLOXYCYCLOPRFOPANES WITH THIOLS AS THERMOSTABILIZERS OF PVC

The compositions on the basis of PVC, containing dioctyl phthalate as a plasticizer, complex thermal stabilizers – calcium and zinc stearates and adducts of thiophenol and ethanedithiol with gemdiglycidyloxymethylsubstituted cyclopropylvinyl ether as co-stabilizers and biocidal additives were developed. Thermal properties of the developed compositions were investigated and the influence of the synthesized sulfur-containing adducts on the thermal stability and color change of the compositions studied. The tests were carried out to reveal the antifungal activity of adducts in the structure of PVC compositions. It found that the chemical structure of adducts after introduction into the structure of compositions was not essentially changed. The compositions with the participation of adducts as co-stabilizers acquired improved indices on thermal stability, color stability and antifungal activity.
