Notes:
The effect of stabilizers on the mechanical properties of UPVC and how these are affected by different formulations has been studied. Three stabilizers, tin mercaptide MT, lead system Pb, and Ba/Cd/Zn complex BCZ, were used. A high -intensity blender was used for dry blend compounding, and the blend was injection -molded on a Kuasy single Screw injection molding machine. A two -cavity mold was made for forming the specimens. The specimens were tested for their impact strength, fracture toughness, tensile strength, and flexural strength. Increasing MT stabilizer was shown to increase the tensile strength and to decrease fracture toughness, impact strength, and ductility; this was attributed to antiplasticization. Increasing the Pb stabilizer conferred ductility and improved fracture toughness and impact strength. It is concluded that stabilizers have a marked effect on the mechanical behavior of rigid PVC.
