In order to process PVC, it is crucial to control its degradation by heat, shear and oxidation. This webinar will provide an overview of the different thermal stabilizer systems that can be used for overcoming degradation and thus avoiding the discoloration and loss of physical properties associated with it. Stabilizers and co-stabilizers based on organotins, mixed metals (such as barium and zinc), calcium, phosphites, and diketones, along with the more recent heavy-metal free formulations will be examined. The webinar is geared toward technical personnel dealing with PVC processing and/or PVC testing, researchers trying to optimize existing stabilizer systems or develop new ones, as well as formulators, managers and anybody with a need to gain an understanding of PVC thermal degradation and stabilization.
