For plastics manufacturers working with high-filling PVC compounds, achieving optimal processing characteristics and product quality can be a significant challenge. The increased filler content often demands more robust stabilization to maintain melt fluidity, prevent degradation, and ensure a desirable surface finish. This is where advanced additives like Calcium-Zinc (Ca-Zn) stabilizers play a pivotal role. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD., as a dedicated supplier of specialty chemicals, offers solutions that address these specific needs.

The Challenge of High-Filling PVC Compounds

PVC compounds often incorporate fillers like calcium carbonate to reduce costs and modify properties such as rigidity and impact resistance. However, these fillers can alter the rheology of the melt, increase viscosity, and require higher processing temperatures. Without adequate stabilization, this can lead to:

  • Poor Melt Uniformity: Inconsistent dispersion of fillers can result in weak spots and reduced mechanical properties.
  • Increased Viscosity: Leading to higher torque on extruders, increased energy consumption, and potential for shear degradation.
  • Surface Defects: Such as roughness, dullness, or even melt fracture, impacting the aesthetic and functional performance of the final product.
  • Discoloration: The combination of high processing temperatures and filler interaction can accelerate PVC degradation, leading to yellowing or browning.

Calcium-Zinc Stabilizers: A Solution for High-Filling Systems

Calcium-Zinc stabilizers, like our S-197, are specifically formulated to manage these challenges effectively. Their benefits in high-filling PVC applications include:

  • Excellent Lubrication Properties: Ca-Zn stabilizers provide a balanced lubrication system, which is crucial for preventing plate-out and ensuring smooth flow through extrusion dies, even with high filler loadings. This results in improved melt fluidity and reduced mechanical wear on equipment.
  • Enhanced Plasticization: They promote better integration of fillers within the PVC matrix, leading to more uniform plasticization. This contributes to better overall mechanical properties and surface finish.
  • Improved Brightness and Whiteness: For applications where visual appearance is critical, such as decorative profiles or flooring, Ca-Zn stabilizers can provide superior whiteness and brightness compared to other systems, especially when compared to similar products in the market.
  • Environmental Friendliness: As a non-toxic, heavy-metal-free alternative, they align with increasing global demand for sustainable materials and strict regulatory compliance, such as REACH and RoHS.
  • Cost-Effectiveness: By offering efficient stabilization at reasonable dosages, Ca-Zn stabilizers present a cost-effective solution for manufacturers aiming to optimize their raw material spend without compromising quality.
