In the review information about modifiers for rubbers, and light- and thermoprotectors for polymers on the basis of oil shale raw material is analyzed and summarized. Basic characteristics of raw materials for synthesized chemicals, results of their tests in rubber mixes and heterochain polymers are presented. The review specifies ample opportunities of using oil shale alkyl resorcinols as chemical raw material for manufacturing multifunctional additives to polymeric materials.
