- combined with selected chemical additives and modifiers to achieve the various properties desired in vinyl end-products.
- the resulting material can be converted into an almost limitless range of applications
- vinyl compound can be used indoors or outside, be crystal clear or opaque, and matched to virtually any colour in the rainbow.
Additives: include heat and light stabilizers, colorants, impact modifiers, processing aids and plasticizers.
Plasticizers: used as softening agents and provide low temperature flexibility and weldability These plasticizers versatility and excellent performance prolongs products' service life, gives them resistance, and helps reduce spoilage and waste.
Stabilizers: The principal metals from which stabilizers are made include tin, barium, zinc, calcium and, decreasingly, lead and cadmium. Most stabilizers are used in rigid PVC applications such as construction products thanks to their processability and durability
