Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a plasticizer having excellent press coloration resistance and cold resistance, and a vinyl chloride resin composition containing the plasticizer. The plasticizer is a trimellitic acid triester plasticizer containing a triester compound of a saturated aliphatic alcohol and trimellitic acid, wherein the saturated aliphatic alcohol contains a linear alcohol having 8 to 10 carbon atoms and a branched alcohol having 8 to 10 carbon atoms, and the ratio (mass ratio) of the linear alcohol and the branched alcohol is 78/22 to 50/50.

Abstract: Disclosed is a vinyl chloride-based resin composition having excellent weather resistance, coloration resistance, and thermal stability as well as excellent transparency, and a molded article using this vinyl chloride-based resin composition. Specifically, the vinyl chloride-based resin composition contains a vinyl chloride-based resin in an amount of 100 parts by mass, an organic acid zinc salt as a component (A) in an amount of 0.01 to 10.0 parts by mass, a ?-diketone compound as a component (B) in an amount of 0.01 to 10.0 parts by mass, and one or more triazine-based compounds as a component (C) represented by Formula (1) in an amount of 0.01 to 20.0 parts by mass. (In Formula (1), R1 to R3 represent a linear or branched alkyl group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms or the like, and R4 to R6 represent an alkyl group having 1 to 8 carbon atoms or the like.

Abstract: A vinyl chloride resin composition that has better electrical insulating properties than existing vinyl chloride resin compositions and a wire coating material that includes the vinyl chloride resin composition are provided. A vinyl chloride resin composition contains 0.1 to 3 parts by weight of synthetic aluminum silicate per 100 parts by weight of a vinyl chloride resin, the synthetic aluminum silicate having an apparent specific gravity of 7 ml/g or more. Synthetic aluminum silicate having a specific surface area of 400 m2/g or more can be preferably used. The wire coating material contains the vinyl chloride resin composition.

Abstract: The invention provides a flame retardant composition comprising 1-99 weight parts of a salt of piperazine and an inorganic compound selected from among piperazine phosphate, piperazine pyrophosphate and piperazine polyphosphate, or a mixture of two or more of these piperazine salts (ingredient (A)), 99-1 weight parts of a salt of melamine and an inorganic compound selected from among melamine phosphate, melamine pyrophosphate and melamine polyphosphate, or a mixture of two or more of these melamine salts (ingredient (B)) (wherein, the sum of ingredient (A) and ingredient (B) is 100 weight parts), 0-50 weight parts of an arbitrary ingredient (ingredient (C)), and 0.01-20 weight parts of a silicone oil having a viscosity at 25° C. of 5000 mm2/s (ingredient (D)) which is added thereto. This flame retardant not only has superior flame retarding properties, but also has enhanced powder properties and anti-hygroscopic properties, and when it is added to a resin, there is little change of electrical resistance.

Abstract: The present invention provides piperazine pyrophosphate represented by chemical formula (I) which has a sodium content of 10 ppm or lower and a process of producing the same. The piperazine pyrophosphate has high purity and provides a flame retardant composition exhibiting excellent flame retardancy. The process includes dehydration condensation of piperazine diphosphate and is able to produce the piperazine pyrophosphate at low cost.
