Using maleic anhydride and 6-amino-1,3-dimethyluracil as raw materials, by adding zinc oxide and introducing metal ions, the aminouracil zinc maleate (AM-Zn) was synthesized. The structure of the product was analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and 1 H NMR spectroscopy. The molecule contains ester group, carbon-carbon double bond, carboxylate and diazo group, which can be used as the main thermal stabilizer for poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC). The thermal stability and excellent resistance to zinc burning of AM-Zn were characterized by Congo red method, thermal aging method, thermal weight loss method, electrical conductivity, and other detection methods. In addition, the compound use of AM-Zn and CaSt 2 could further improve the thermal stability performance, which was excellent compared with the commercially available CaSt 2 /ZnSt 2 . The thermal stabilization effect was the best when CaSt 2 /AM-Zn = 2:1, the initial whiteness could reach 50 min, and it was not completely blackened and aged within 80 min. The static stabilization time was 65 min, and the thermal stabilization time is increased by 40 min compared with CaSt 2 /ZnSt 2 . The thermal stabilization mechanism was analyzed, and the designed and synthesized AM-Zn, a multifunctional molecular structure, had a strong potential as a thermal stabilizer for PVC.aminouracil maleamic acid zinc, anti-zinc burning, plastic additives, PVC thermal stabilizer
| INTRODUCTIONPoly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) is a thermoplastic polymer obtained by free radical polymerization of vinyl chloride (VC) monomers. It is one of the top five general-purpose plastics in the world, it has many good physical and chemical properties, such as flame retardant, good water resistance, electrical insulation, acid resistance, alkali resistance, and so forth. [1] With its good performance, PVC has become the most commonly used plastic material in today's society, and is widely used in profiles, pipes, films, sheets, packaging materials, consumer goods. [2] Due to the poor thermal stability of PVC resin materials, aging, discoloration, and deformation will occur under high temperature processing conditions. The degradation of PVC will deteriorate the physical and chemical properties and mechanical properties of its products.
