Calcium-based stabilisers
- Calcium-based stabilisers (including Ca-Zn ones) are now largely used in wires and cables, in window and technical profiles (also foamed ones), and in any type of pipes (such as soil and sewer pipes, foam core pipes, pressure pipes, corrugated pipes, land drainage pipes and cable ducting) as well as the corresponding fittings and flooring.
- Calcium-based stabilisers have also been introduced in PVC rigid calendering film production when improved organoleptics characteristics are required, for instance as alternative to tin mercaptides in transparent food packaging application or as alternative to tin carboxylates in PVC blown films shrinkable and for candy wrap.
The European liquid stabilisers association (elisa)
Liquid stabilisers used in a wide range of flexible PVC applications including sheets, flooring.
The European tin stabilisers association (etinsa)
Tin-based stabilisers used primarily in rigid applications including food contact use.
