Barium-Zinc Stabilizer

Description

Barium-Zinc Stabilizer is a metal soap-based heat stabilizer designed for flexible PVC systems. It offers reliable thermal protection during soft PVC processing and helps maintain clarity, flexibility, and mechanical strength.

Compared to lead or tin systems, Barium-Zinc offers a balanced cost-performance ratio, especially in extrusion and calendaring operations. It is often used together with plasticizers, lubricants, and other additives.

This stabilizer works well in products that require good electrical insulationsmooth surfaces, and non-migration performance.

Mechanism & Features

  • Provides stable heat resistance at medium processing temperatures
  • Compatible with many plasticizers (DOP, DINP, DOTP, ESBO)
  • Low volatility, minimal plate-out on rollers or dies
  • Keeps good transparency and surface smoothness
  • Suitable for clear or lightly pigmented soft PVC products
  • Available in powder, paste, or liquid form for different machines
