Description
PVC stabilisers are additives used during the production and processing of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) to enhance its thermal stability and resistance to degradation caused by heat and light. Lead-based PVC stabilisers, once widely used, are particularly effective in providing long-term durability and heat resistance for rigid PVC products. Although gradually being replaced by non-lead alternatives due to environmental concerns, they remain in use in certain industries due to their cost-effectiveness and efficiency.
Electrical Cables and Conduits
These stabilisers improve the heat resistance and mechanical properties of PVC used in electrical cables and conduits, ensuring safety and long-term performance under varying conditions.
PVC Stabilisers
PVC Pipes and Fittings
Lead-based PVC stabilisers ensure the thermal stability and durability of rigid PVC pipes and fittings, making them ideal for water distribution and sewage systems, especially in high-temperature environments.
Window Profiles and Doors
In construction, lead-based PVC stabilizers enhance the rigidity, weather resistance, and longevity of PVC window profiles and doors, ensuring durability in outdoor and structural applications.
