Wood Stabilizer
In the production of plastic wood, calcium-zinc stabilizers are often used as heat stabilizers and processing aids. They help prevent degradation of the thermoplastic resin during the high-temperature processing stages, such as extrusion or injection molding. These stabilizers provide thermal stability, reducing the risk of discoloration, degradation, or loss of mechanical properties of plastic wood during manufacturing.
calcium-zinc stabilizers contribute to the long-term performance of plastic wood products. They offer protection against UV radiation, which can cause color fading and degradation of the wood fibers. By incorporating these stabilizers into the formulation, plastic wood products can retain their appearance and structural integrity even when exposed to outdoor conditions.
The specific grade of calcium-zinc stabilizers used for plastic wood applications may vary depending on factors such as the type of resin, desired performance characteristics, and regulatory requirements.
