Why Ca-Zn Stabilizers Are Replacing Lead Stabilizers
Why Ca-Zn Stabilizers Are Replacing Lead Stabilizers
Lead stabilizers dominated PVC production for decades. However, due to regulatory pressure, toxicity concerns and sustainability requirements, Calcium-Zinc stabilizers have become the global industry standard.
1. Regulatory Compliance
Lead is banned in the EU
Non-compliant with RoHS & REACH
Ca-Zn is fully environmentally friendly and globally accepted
2. Performance Benefits
Lower plate-out
Better color stability
Higher clarity
Cleaner processing
Reduced odor
3. Economic Advantages
Although initially more expensive, Ca-Zn systems offer:
Lower scrap rates
Higher processing efficiency
Export-ready compliance
Conclusion
Ca-Zn stabilizers provide safer, more stable and globally accepted alternatives to traditional lead stabilizers.
