Abstract

Corrosion of a melt-processing apparatus for processing a polyarylene thioether at a temperature higher than the melting point thereof is prevented by a method which comprises adding to 100 parts by weight of the polyarylene thioether 0.001 to 10 parts by weight of at least one member selected from the group consisting of (i) hydroxides of metals of the group IIa of the Periodic Table, (ii) oxides of metals of the group IIa of the Periodic Table and (iii) aromatic carboxylic acid salts of metals of the group IIa of the Periodic Table. By this method, even if the melt-processing article obtained is exposed to moisture, the electrical properties of the article formed (for example, insulation characteristics) and the water resistance are not substantially deteriorated.
