Abstract
A method for cross-linking chlorinated (co)polymers involves reacting such (co)polymers at between 50.degree. and 230.degree. C. in the absence of solvent with an organometallic amino-type derivative of tin, lead, antimony or bismuth to provide cross-linked compositions and shaped objects.
