Auxiliary stabilizers for plasticized polyvinyl chloride

“…Degradation seems to be more rapid in the presence of plasticizers. It is postulated that the degradation of the PVC resin or plasticizer or more probably both, proceeds through a free radical mechanism ( 5 ) (6). I t is generally acepted that the slow oxidation of hydrocarbons, polymers, and other materials also proceeds through a free radical mechanism (7) ( 8 ) , and that the function of antioxidants is that of breaking the radical chain.…”
