Abstract: A process for producing liquid overbased alkali or alkaline earth metal carboxylates is disclosed wherein a para-cumyl phenol is used as a promoter of the process and the carboxylates produced are used as stabilizers for PVC.
Abstract: Liquid overbased alkali or alkaline earth metal carboxylates, particularly barium carboxylates, are prepared by a process which includes the use of a beta diketone as a reaction promoter during carbonation. Mixed metal stabilizers containing the overbased metal carboxylates are used as stabilizers for halogen-containing polymers such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC).
