The effects of a tin maleate stabilizer and of typical processing lubricants (Wax E and calcium stearate) on the photo-oxidation of PVC have been examined. The latter are found to have a relatively minor effect but the tin maleate stabilizer introduces an induction period to photo-oxidation, related

โฆ Synopsis
The photo-oxidative degradation of PVC modified by the incorporation of ABS, MBS and MABS polyblends was studied by i.r. spectrophotometry, and colour measurement. It was found that impact modified PVC photo-oxidised in two distinct stages: an initial rapid but short stage followed by a longer period of slower degradation. The fast stage was caused by the rapid photo-oxidation of the polybutadiene phase, which accelerates the degradation of the PVC. The polybutadiene photooxidation also accelerates discoloration and the formation of colour is linearly related to the formation of conjugated carbonyl compounds in the polymer. A synergistic PVC stabiliser system inhibited the formation of the conjugated chromophore. Prior thermal treatment of both PVC and impact modified PVC's accelerated the rate of photo-oxidative degradation.
