Abstract
This study investigates the thermal and thermo-oxidative stabilization of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) through the use of salts of Product-T, a complex stabilizer. The research explores the mechanisms of stabilizer interaction with PVC and assesses its effects on material properties under elevated temperatures and oxidative conditions. By analyzing the efficacy of various salts of Product-T in comparison with traditional stabilizers, the study provides insights into improving PVC’s thermal resistance and durability. Results from thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) confirm the potential of Product-T salts as efficient stabilizers, capable of significantly enhancing PVC's thermal and oxidative stability.
