Abstract:

A series of polyhydroxyl compounds with a low price were selected, and their static thermal stability was comparatively investigated using a Congo red method. The results indicated that the presence of chitosan could generate an optimal static thermal stabilizing effect on PVC. The static thermal stabilizing effects of chitosan and conventional primary heat stabilizers, including calcium stearate, zinc stearate and lanthanum stearate, were further evaluated using the Congo red method, and their anti?discoloration ability was compared using a thermal aging oven method. The dynamic thermal stabilizing effect on PVC was compared between chitosan and conventional stabilizers using a torque rheometer. The effect of chitosan on the thermal degradation process of PVC was studied through thermogravimetric analysis. Chitosan exhibited an optimal thermal stabilizing effect on PVC with static and dynamic thermal stabilization time of 4 020 and 1 355 s, respectively.

Key words: poly(vinyl chloride), heat stabilizer, chitosan
