Application of Dithlol-s-triazine Derivatives to PVC CrossUnking

Abstract
The effects of crosslinking on PVC are well known in regard to the improvement of mechanical properties, creep behavior, and softening temperature. Little is known, however, on the application of the PVC-crosslinking reaction, because most of crosslinked PVC tends to color easily at elevated temperatures. In this paper, a novel PVC-crosslinking reaction with 2-R-4,6-dithiol-s-triazine (I) has been presented to obtain insoluble products which hardly color on ageing. The reaction rate and induction period of the crosslinking reaction with I are made controllable by selecting the basicity of the substituent R of I as well as that of an acid acceptor in the blends. The utility of I as stabilizer as well as a crosslinking agent is also emphasized.
