Vernonia anthelmintica willd. Seed oil and salts of vernolic acid as stabilizers for plasticized poly (Vinyl chloride)
1962
Vernonia anthelmintica seed oil, trivernolin, the main constituent of the oil, barium and cadmium salts of vernolic acid (epoxyoleic acid), and various combinations of the salts have been evaluated as heat and light stabilizers of plasticized poly (vinyl chloride). Evaluation was made at the 1 and 3% levels of the vernonia oil components. Transparent sheets whose color ranged from light amber to colorless were obtained after milling and molding. All compounds studied greatly improved both heat and light stability of the sheets; the 3% stabilizer level gave the better results. In general the stabilizing ability of the compounds studied increased as follows: vernonia oilbarium vernolate< cadmium vernolate and <barium-cadmium vernolate mixtures. Comparisons with 3 commercial stabilizers show that the vernonia oil and derivatives thereof are equal to or better than the comparative commercial controls.
