PVC Heat Stabilisers
Comprehensive range of Lead-Based and Calcium-Zinc (CZ) PVC stabilisers
Exceptional thermal stability for rigid pipes, window profiles, and cables
Eco-friendly, non-toxic CZ options for food-grade and medical applications
Tailored "One-Pack" formulations for high-speed extrusion and cost-efficiency
What are PVC Heat Stabilisers?
PVC Heat Stabilisers are essential industrial additives required to protect polyvinyl chloride (PVC) from thermal degradation during extrusion and molding. Because raw PVC releases hydrochloric acid (HCl) when exposed to high processing temperatures, stabilisers are added to neutralize this acid, preventing discoloration and the breakdown of the polymer chain.
Chembridges supplies two primary categories to meet diverse manufacturing and regulatory needs:
Lead-Based Stabilisers: The traditional industry standard, offering an unmatched cost-to-performance ratio. They provide excellent thermal stability, long-term weatherability, and superior electrical insulation, making them ideal for rigid pipes, fittings, and standard wire & cable jacketing.
Calcium-Zinc (CZ) Stabilisers: The modern, eco-friendly alternative. Formulated without heavy metals, CZ stabilisers are non-toxic, RoHS-compliant, and environmentally sustainable. They are the mandatory choice for applications requiring high safety standards, such as potable water pipes, food packaging, toys, and medical equipment.

Applications and Industries
PVC Pipes & Fittings
We supply robust Lead stabilisers for agricultural and drainage pipes, alongside specialized non-toxic CZ stabilisers approved for potable (drinking) water piping systems, ensuring both durability and safety.
Wire & Cable Insulation
Our lead-based grades offer outstanding electrical resistance for medium-voltage cables, while our heavy-metal-free CZ grades are perfect for eco-friendly, RoHS-compliant electronics and indoor wiring.
Window & Door Profiles
Utilizing our premium Calcium-Zinc stabilisers, manufacturers can produce crystal-clear, non-toxic flexible PVC films, blood bags, IV tubes, and food-safe packaging that meet strict global health regulations.
Rigid PVC Boards & Sheets
Both our Lead and CZ "One-Pack" stabilisers provide excellent weatherability, UV resistance, and structural rigidity for outdoor building materials, preventing warping and yellowing over time.

FAQs
What is the difference between Lead-Based and Calcium-Zinc Stabilisers?
Lead-based stabilisers are the traditional, highly cost-effective choice known for excellent heat and electrical resistance, used heavily in construction and cables. Calcium-Zinc (CZ) stabilisers are modern, heavy-metal-free, and non-toxic. They are environmentally friendly and required for products that come into contact with food, medical supplies, or drinking water.
Can I use "One-Pack" stabilisers for both Lead and CZ?
Yes. Chembridges supplies “One-Pack” compound stabilisers for both Lead and CZ ranges. These pre-blended formulations combine the primary heat stabiliser with perfectly balanced internal and external lubricants, reducing mixing errors and dust in your factory.
When should a factory switch to Calcium-Zinc (CZ) stabilisers?
You should switch to CZ stabilisers if your target market enforces RoHS compliance, if you are manufacturing potable water pipes, medical devices, or food packaging, or if your company is adopting greener, sustainable manufacturing practices to meet international environmental regulations.
How do Lead stabilisers benefit cable manufacturing?
Lead-based stabilizers are non-conductive and do not absorb moisture. When they react with releasing HCl during processing, they form lead chloride—an insoluble, electrically inert substance that preserves the high electrical insulation properties required for power cables.
Does Chembridges offer custom formulations?
Yes. Depending on your filler loading (like Calcium Carbonate levels), extruder type, and end-product application, we can supply tailored Lead or CZ stabilisers to optimize your melt strength, fusion behavior, and surface finish.
