Traditional thermal stabilizers containing lead, cadmium, and barium are gradually being replaced by nontoxic, environment‐friendly thermal stabilizers. Zinc‐based and organic‐based thermal stabilizers gain momentum in the market space.
Organic thermal stabilizers that are completely free of metals, represent the current trend in the development of PVC thermal stabilizers for industrial applications.
These trends in the development of thermal stabilizers for PVC, as well as novel uracil derivative‐based thermal stabilizers for PVC, are discussed in this article.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
