  • Patent number: 5565599
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are stabilized dithiophosphoric acid polysulphides of the formula (I) ##STR1## in which R is a C.sub.1 -C.sub.20 alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl or aralkyl residue andx is an integer from 2 to 15,containing as stabilizer 1 to 20 wt.% of a carboxylic acid of the general formula R'COOH, in which R' is a C.sub.1 -C.sub.20 alkyl residue, a cycloalkyl residue, an aryl residue or an aralkyl residue, and 1 to 20 wt.% of calcium oxide or zinc oxide.
