Heat Stabilizer

PVC Stabilizers are of different types like:
– Heat Stabilizers which are mainly used in Construction projects.
– Antioxidants are PVC Stabilizers that prevent oxidation of PVC from taking place due to atmospheric oxygen.
– Hindered amine light stabilizers are PVC Stabilizers that scavenge radicals produced by weathering.
– The next type of PVC Stabilizers is UV absorbers. They dissipate the energy absorbed by UV rays.
– Antiozonants are PVC Stabilizers that prevent the degradation of materials caused by Ozone gas present in the atmosphere.
– Lastly, PVC Stabilizers are available in the form of Organosulfur Compounds that thermally stabilize polymers.

PVC Stabilizer Usage and Application

PVC stabilizers are one of the most important additives used in the manufacturing of PVC (polyvinyl chloride) to avoid the decomposition of PVC during the heating process.
During its manufacturing, PVC releases hydrochloride, which further decomposes it and also hampers its structure. Thus, lead, mixed metal, tin, and organic PVC stabilizers are used to stop the chain reaction of decomposition.
It is also used to enhance resistance to daylight, weathering, and heat aging of PVC. It is widely used in major applications of PVC such as pipe & fittings, rigid & semi-rigid films, window profiles, wires & cables, and other applications such as medical and consumer goods. The growth of construction is the main reason making the building and construction is the market using PVC Stabilizer the most.
