Excellent- More about PVC Additives: Performance, Chemistry, Developments, and Sustainability
PVC stabilization is achieved through the use of metal compounds, including lead, tin, calcium, magnesium, zinc, rare earths, and almost-metal-free systems. This book provides an overview of these differences, their advantages, possibilities, and problems, with tables and figures providing structures and physico-chemical data. It also covers development trends in Europe and sustainability, and addresses everyday problems in the processing of PVC, such as the formation of specks, photo-effects, and plate-out.

PVC stands out from other commodity plastics in its stabilization approach, employing a diverse range of metal compounds to achieve this stability. These include lead, tin, calcium, magnesium, zinc, rare earth elements, and nearly metal-free systems. The introductory section of this book delves into these differences, highlighting their advantages, potential applications, and associated challenges, from a chemist's perspective, while also making them accessible to salespeople and technicians. To enhance understanding, numerous tables and figures are included, presenting structures and physico-chemical data. Additionally, a dedicated section is crafted for beginners, offering guidance on formulations and test methods. A brief section also touches upon development trends in Europe. Sustainability is a central theme, underscoring PVC's remarkable potential to evolve into a fully sustainable material.
Another section focuses on the practical challenges encountered during PVC processing, such as the formation of specks, photo-effects, and plate-out. Plate-out, a prevalent issue in PVC processing, receives relatively limited attention in the literature. This section, unique in its coverage, provides valuable assistance to PVC processors by offering insights into selecting and dosing raw materials based on the influencing factors during processing. By addressing these aspects, this comprehensive resource empowers professionals in the PVC industry to optimize their processes and enhance the sustainability of their products.
