Process for improving color of basic metal organic salts and stabilizing halogen-containing polymers therewith

摘要

A light colored basic alkali or alkaline earth metal organic salt is obtained by the reaction of a basic metal compound, an alkyl phenol and/or a carboxylic acid, carbon dioxide, and thereafter post-treating the reaction product with an organic phosphite. Alkaline earth metal salts of phenols and carboxylic acids include barium or calcium. Organic phosphites include trialkyl or dialkyl phosphites such as triisodecyl phosphite or diisooctyl phosphite.
