Abstract:

Diethylene glycol ether maleate (MD) was prepared using maleic anhydride and diethylene glycol ether as raw materials without a catalyst, and its molecular structure was determined to be ester groups, ether bonds, and carbon?carbon double bonds. This intermediate product was respectively reacted with calcium acetate and zinc acetate to prepare diethylene glycol ether maleate calcium/zinc salt (MD?Ca/Zn). The structure of the resultant product was further analyzed with FTIR spectroscopy, indicating that its molecule contains ether bond, ester group, carbon?carbon double bond, and carboxylate structure. This indicated that it could be used as a heat stabilizer for PVC. The thermal stabilizing effect of the MD?Ca/Zn was verified through the Congo red, thermal aging, thermogravimetry, electrical conductance measurements as well as the comparation the commercially available calcium/zinc stearate. Its thermal stabilization mechanism was analyzed and explored. Furthermore, the synergistic effect of the MD?Ca/Zn with an auxiliary heat stabilizer, β?diketone (stearoyl benzoyl methane), was investigated. The results indicated that the PVC compound exhibited an optimal thermal stability at an MD?Ca/Zn mass ratio of 2∶1, and its initial whiteness and static stabilization time reached 40 min and 35 min, respectively. The thermal stability could be further improved by combination with 10 % β?diketone in the total amount of heat stabilizers.
