LEAD STABILIZERS
The portfolio includes lead salts and lead soaps, which can contribute to thermal protection, lubrication, processing stability and, in suitable formulations, electrical performance.
Their high stabilization efficiency makes them suitable for demanding rigid and flexible PVC applications where elevated processing temperatures, extended residence times or strong long-term heat resistance are required.
Lead Salts
They provide strong resistance to thermal degradation and can neutralize hydrogen chloride released during PVC decomposition.
- High heat stabilization efficiency
- Strong HCl scavenging capacity
- Excellent long-term thermal protection
- Stable processing at elevated temperatures
Lead Soaps
Depending on fatty acid structure and composition, they can contribute to heat stability, melt flow, metal release and overall processing balance.
- Combined stabilization and lubrication functionality
- Improved processing consistency
- Contribution to metal release
- Support for smooth melt flow
- Enhanced long-term stability
Applications
- Rigid PVC pipes and fittings
- Cable insulation and sheathing
- Technical profiles
- Other applications requiring strong thermal and electrical performance
Use of lead-containing products must comply with applicable regional legislation, customer requirements and end-use specifications.
