A novel evaluation method for dehydrochlorination of plasticized Poly(vinyl chloride) containing heavy metal‐free thermal stabilizing synergistic agent
Abstract:A novel method for determining the level of dehydrochlorination, that is, the conversion of degradation from the conductivity curve of plasticized Poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) containing heavy metal‐free agent, has been used. The novel method was introduced in this article to evaluate the thermal stability of PVC by dehydrochlorination that shows more reproducibility for measured results than the standard method, which depends on the conductivity only. The novel method was used to measure thermal degradation in … Show more
“…Fig. 4 shows that the thermal decomposition behavior of all PVC materials can be divided into two stages in good agreement with previously reported results [23,24]. The first stage (200-400°C) is mainly attributed to the release of hydrogen chloride leading to the generation of conjugated polyene structures.…”

The development of PVC materials grafted with mannich base originated from myrcene (P-MAM-g, where the mannich base derived from myrcene is abbreviated as MAM) via green and effective synthetic methods is a good strategy to avoid unacceptable discoloration and deterioration of thermal and mechanical properties caused by autocatalytic dehydrochlorination (DHC) during PVC processing. In this study, MAM with double bonds, amino groups, ester groups, and phospholipid groups was introduced into the chains of PVC to improve the thermal stability of PVC. The experimental results showed that the covalent attachment of MAM to PVC enhanced both the initial and the long-term stability of PVC. The enhanced performance of P-MAM-g compared with unmodified PVC is attributed to the simultaneous introduction of double bonds and amino groups into the PVC structure. The double bonds trapped the unstable chlorine atoms originated from the degradation of the PVC chain and reacted with the labile macromolecular radicals originated from PVC, thus inhibiting the radical degradation of the PVC chain. Furthermore, the amino groups absorbed the HCl produced in the degradation of PVC, inhibiting the adverse effects of HCl. P-MAM-g displayed better intrinsic flexibility and anti-migration ability of organic functional components compared with the control PVC materials. A possible stabilizing mechanism of the P-MAM-g was also presented.

Understanding the influence of additives on the dehydrochlorination of plasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) from the source and long-term storage is an attractive topic. In this work, the effects of folic acid modified nano titanium dioxide (FANT)、cerium stearate, organotin and β -diketone compound additives on the dehydrochlorination of plasticized PVC and long-term storage were investigated using conductivity measurements. The results showed that the induction time of hydrogen chloride removal of plasticized PVC (C-1) containing composite stabilizer at 200°C were 243% higher than those of the control (S1). After storage, the heat stability of the control decreased significantly. Instead, the induction time and stability time of plasticized PVC containing FANT, cerium stearate, organotin and β- diketone composites were significantly enhanced at 200°C. The thermal stability sequence from difficult to easy for removal of hydrogen chloride was : 3.0 phr (1.90% wt) (C2) >1.0 phr (0.64% wt) (C1) > 5.0 phr (3.17% wt) (C3) with FANT. It is inferred that this is due to the FANT's hydrogen bonding van der Waals force and the complexation reaction of variable valence metal Ce+3/Ce+4 with C-Cl bond in PVC polymer molecule. The induction time (min) of hydrogen chloride removal at 200°C before and after storage is as follows: C-20 (71.9) > C-10 (70.6) > C-1 (60.7) > C-3 (57.2) > C-30 (52.7) > C-2 (49.9) > S1 (25.3) > S10 (19.7). The critical temperature for hydrogen chloride removal by the composite film is around 210°C. If the content of FANT increased to 3.17%, the intermolecular force and repulsive force in PVC system offset each other, indicating that the increase of FANT content will lead to the increase of repulsive force with PVC. A certain amount of FANT, cerium stearate, organotin and β- diketone composites has a significant synergistic effect on the thermal stability of PVC.
