We distribute stabilizers by Baerlocher. Stabilizers, also referred to as heat stabilizers, are absolutely necessary for the processing of PVC. They give PVC the necessary heat stability required during processing and provide the finished article with the required durability in the course of its service life.
Stabilizers are added to PVC to allow its processing and to improve its resistance especially in outdoor applications, weathering and heat ageing and have an important influence on the physical properties of PVC finished articles.
Baerlocher stabilizers are sold under the trade name BAEROSTAB and comprise single components as well as complex formulations of these basic components.
The BAEROSTAB range also includes liquid and solid mixed metal stabilizers for plastisol processing, calendering and flexibleextrusion, as well as a range of kickers used in applications such as cushion vinyl flooring.
Every time a polymer is heated or sheared, it is in a potential state of degradation. This degradation changes the molecular weight and therefore the physical properties of the polymer.
In 1963 Baerlocher invented ready-made blends of additives for the plastics industry.
These so-called “one-packs” include multiple additives for polymer processing such as stabilizers and process aids. Custom blends can be created to meet specific customer demands.
