The successful manufacturing of high-quality PVC products relies heavily on precise control over processing conditions. While heat stabilizers are paramount for preventing degradation, the inclusion of lubricants within composite stabilizer systems is equally critical for ensuring smooth processing, optimal melt flow, and excellent surface finish. As a dedicated supplier and manufacturer of PVC additives, we understand the intricate balance required, and lubricants are key components in our advanced formulations.

The Function of Lubricants in PVC Processing

Lubricants in PVC formulations serve a dual purpose: internal lubrication and external lubrication. Both are essential for preventing issues that can arise during heat exposure and mechanical stress of processing equipment.

  • Internal Lubricants: These additives reduce the friction between PVC polymer chains. This leads to a lower melt viscosity, improved flow, and reduced shear heating, which helps prevent thermal degradation. Internal lubricants facilitate better fusion of the polymer.
  • External Lubricants: They create a barrier between the molten PVC compound and the hot metal surfaces of processing equipment (like extruder barrels and dies). This prevents sticking, fusing, and build-up, ensuring a continuous and clean extrusion or molding process. External lubricants contribute to surface gloss and reduce friction in the final product.

Composite Stabilizers: The Integrated Solution

Modern composite stabilizers often incorporate optimized blends of internal and external lubricants. This integration offers significant advantages for manufacturers:

  • Simplified Formulation: By using a single 'one-pack' stabilizer that includes lubricants, manufacturers streamline their raw material handling and blending processes, reducing errors and improving efficiency.
  • Balanced Performance: Our expert formulation ensures the right balance of lubrication, enhancing processability without compromising the desired mechanical or thermal properties of the PVC product.
  • Improved Surface Finish: The external lubrication component is vital for achieving smooth, high-gloss surfaces on profiles, films, and sheets, which is often a key aesthetic requirement for many PVC applications.
  • Reduced Processing Defects: Proper lubrication minimizes issues like plate-out, melt fracture, and die build-up, leading to higher yields and less rework.
