Polyvinyl chloride (Polyvinyl Chloride – PVC) is one of the most important thermoplastic polymers in the plastics industry. Pure PVC is a white, rigid, and brittle material. After polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP), PVC ranks as the third most widely used polymer worldwide, with an annual global production of approximately
In this study, the researchers investigated the performance of Organic Based Stabilizer (OBS) compared to traditional Lead-Based Stabilizer (Pb) and Calcium-Zinc Stabilizer (CaZn) in formulating rigid PVC pipes. The results showed that the organic PVC thermal stabilizer (OBS) has a more favorable thermal performance by providing better processability, more uniform
The synthesis, characterization, and photocatalytic performance of polyvinyl alcohol/zinc oxide (PVA/ZnO) nanocomposites are important. Polyvinyl Alcohol/Zinc Oxide (PVA/ZnO) nanocomposites exhibit excellent structural stability and photocatalytic activity for environmental remediation applications. These materials have applications in environmental remediation, optoelectronic devices, and biomedical engineering. In this work, we synthesized PVA/ZnO nanocomposites using
Epoxidized Soybean Oil (ESBO), also known by the trade name PESBO67, is one of the green and environmentally friendly additives that has found a special place in various industries, especially PVC, food packaging, paints and lubricants. This product is obtained from the epoxidation process of soybean oil, which changes its
Phthalate-free plasticizers are a new generation of plasticizers made from non-phthalate compounds and are used for applications with high requirements, especially in the health and food industries. These compounds: Outstanding Features of Pd1200 – Prx233 Plasticizer Applications of Pd1200 – Prx233 plasticizer This plasticizer is produced in different grades and
Epoxidized Soybean Oil (ESBO) ranks among the most widely used non-toxic plasticizers and stabilizers across various industries, especially in plastics and packaging. Manufacturers produce this product by epoxidizing natural soybean oil. Because of its unique properties, many companies choose it as a key alternative to phthalate-based plasticizers and traditional stabilizers.
Companies in the plastics, rubber, paint, and coatings industries recognize the necessity of using multi-functional additives. One of these key additives is Barium Stearate PBAS 501; a compound based on stearic acid and barium, which plays an important role in improving the properties of products due to its special chemical
Waxes play an important role in controlling process and appearance properties in polymer industries. In the meantime, L-G16 Liquid Wax, as a widely used lubricant and processing aid, has found a special place in the polymer production industries, masterbatches, PVC profiles and other extrusion and thermoforming processes. With its controlled
Aluminum Stearate is a chemical compound that is known as a key additive in many industries. It is the result of the reaction between stearic acid (a natural fatty acid) and aluminum salts, and its chemical formula is Al(C18H35O2)3. This compound is produced as a white, soft, and light powder
Calcium Stearate ranks among the most widely used chemical compounds in industry. Manufacturers use it as a lubricant, thermal stabilizer, mold release agent, and functional additive across many sectors. This compound combines stearic acid and calcium to form a salt. It appears as a white, odorless, waxy powder in the
Zinc Stearate, with the chemical formula C₃₆H₇₀O₄Zn, ranks among the most widely used metal salts of stearic acid. It appears as a white, soft, hydrophobic powder and serves as a lubricant, mold release agent, thermal stabilizer, and processing aid across various industries. Among the different types, manufacturers widely use light
Calcium Stearate is a calcium salt of stearic acid, known by the chemical formula C₃₆H₇₀CaO₄. This white, powdery, hydrophobic solid is physiologically non-toxic and functions as a multipurpose compound in a wide range of industries. The light version of the material, called Light Grade Calcium Stearate, has a lower density
