Abstract: This invention comprises the polyvinyl chloride stabilizer composition of an unactivated Zeolite A molecular sieve or an unactivated naturally occurring molecular sieve of essentially the same pore size range as Zeolite A and a conventional inorganic, organometallic or organic stabilizer, or mixture of these stabilizers. An unactivated zeolite molecular sieve has adsorbed water molecules. The combination of the unactivated zeolite molecular sieve and the conventional stabilizer produces a resin of greater stability than that produced by either of the components when used separately.
