A novel double agent of triazole-based zinc-containing complex which constituted Zn/Zn stabilizer system with zinc stearate as thermal stabilizer for poly(vinyl chloride)

摘要

An effectively Zn/Zn stabilizer system instead of traditional Ca/Zn stabilizer system was put forward, which contained a new triazole-based zinc-containing complex (abbreviated as [Zn(ttr)(St)]) and Zinc stearate (ZnSt(2)). Without Ca soap in the system, [Zn(ttr)(St)] itself could effectively absorb HCl and provided PVC with higher transparency and better thermal stability without "zinc burning" than commercial CaSt(2)/ZnSt(2) stabilizer system, verified by Congo red tests and discoloration tests and dynamic thermal stability analysis. In addition, [Zn(ttr)(St)] could further delay "zinc burning" of other zinc soaps, constituting Zn/Zn stabilizer system. This is attributed to the strong ability of restricting ZnCl2 of 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole released from [Zn(ttr)(St)] after absorbing HCl. After adding ESBO, PVC stabilized by [Zn(ttr)(St)]/ZnSt(2)/ESBO showed excellent transparency and thermal stability. We believe that [Zn(ttr)(St)] can act as a novel double agent with the stabilization effects of zinc soap and calcium soap at the same time and this Zn/Zn stabilizer system may inaugurate a new stabilizer system for PVC with synergistic effect.
