In combination with zinc-based stabilizers polyols stabilize thermal transformations of PVC [46], but they should not be used in the presence of unsaturated compounds giving reaction products that exude [44].

By considering the results of previous experiment, they synthesized cobalt-, nickel-, copper-, and zinc-based, new pillared MOFs of similar topologies which exhibited good water stability [233]. The grafted methyl group on the benzene dicarboxlate (BDC) ligand introduced steric factors around the metal centers consequently, water stability of MOF drastically improved. 

In piece, yarn, or garment dyeing a two-stage method consisting of application of the Naphthol first followed by coupling with a Fast Salt is preferred. The Fast Salts are diazotized bases stabilized by formation of double salts with compounds such as zinc chloride, aluminium chloride, alkyl sulphates, benzene sulphonic acid, and 1 5 naphthalene disulphonic acid. 

The traditional stabilizer for hard PVC, harking back to the beginnings of PVC processing, is the cadmium-based stabilizer that was subsequently replaced by lead-based stabilizers for the most part in the 1980s. The demand for PVC formulae free of heavy metals has today led to an increasing use of calcium-zinc stabilizers free of heavy metals [23]. The many different demands made on modem PVC mixtures can hardly be met by one stabilizer alone, so that current practice frequently combined different stabilizer systems. Stabilizers are added to mixtures at ratios of around 14% by mass. 

Apart from natural emissions, Cd is usually found in the environment because of several anthropogenic activities. Due to its chemical and physical properties, Cd is widely used in special alloys (e.g., copper-, tin-, lead-, or zinc-based alloys), pigments (as Cd sulfide and sufoselenide), stabilizers (e.g., Cd incorporated into poly(vinyl chloride)), NiCd batteries and coatings (e.g., steel, aluminum and other non-ferrous metals). Of course, the manufacturing. 

Other chiral zinc based Lewis acid, such as zinc(II) complex with pybox, showed good stability in aqueous media and gave syn-adducts in moderate to excellent catalytic activity and enantioselectivity for asymmetric Mukaiyama aldol reactions (113,114). A simple combination of Lewis acidic zinc salt (Zn(OTf)2) and organocatalyst is also shown to be effective catalysts for the direct aldol reaction of acetone and aldehydes in the presence of water (115). 

Environmental concern has promoted the development of systems to replace lead (especially from cables and cellular products). Cadmium-based stabilizers are also being phased out. To achieve the same effect, however, the replacements have to be complicated mixtures of salts. Organotin and calcium/zinc systems are favoured at present, but much will depend on the shape of any legislation in the future. In general, alternatives based on calcium and zinc are less effective, but are cheaper than those based on aluminium or magnesium. Water absorption can be a problem with systems not using heavy metals. 

Lead stabilizers hold about M)% of the European PVC stabilizer market and organotins 10-15%, while the remainder is liquid or paste combinations of calcium and barium salts with zinc (according to estimates by Akcros). Stabilizers for UPVC window profile are lead-based materials at 68%, barium, cadmium and lead, and barium cadmium at 29%, and calcium- and zinc-based materials at 3%. 

A subdivision of primary stabilizers is necessary a first group comprises lead-based stabilizers the second group is formed by calcium, barium, and strontium salts the third one is based on cadmium and zinc salts and the last, larger group is made of organotin-based stabilizers. 

Barium, calcium, and strontium salt-based stabilizers belong to the so-called slow stabilizer group. This is illustrated for barium salts as compared to other PVC stabilizers, as shown in Fig. 9.3. Slow stabilizers are never used alone but always in combination with cadmium or zinc salt-based stabilizers. 

Synergetic mixtures presenting no health hazard are worthy of mention. They are zinc-based compounds mixed mainly with calcium soaps. Since zinc-containing stabilizers function only at very low concentration in PVC (0.1-0.4% by weight), it is necessary to ensure a good dispersion of the stabilizer mixture in the polymer matrix to obtain the best stabilizing effect. Too high a concentration of zinc stabilizer decreases the heat stability of PVC appreciably [55]. To avoid this, epoxide compounds should be used as HCl acceptors in conjunction with the stabilizer mixture.
