Baerlocher adds to stabilizer range

Baerlocher has introduced new calcium-based PVC stabilizers for rigid PVC as part of the general move away from lead-based systems. Marketed under Baeropan SMS and Baeropan TX, the company says that they offer better handling, dosage and processing characteristics. Baerlocher is also offering solid calcium-based stabilizers for rigid films: Baerostab NT 352-1P is successfully used for transparent and pigmented calendered rigid PVC films. The formulations offer good heat stability and early colour, good transparency and organoleptic properties. This product has FDA approval and complies with the EC 2002/72 specification.

Baerlocher has also developed a complete range of lubricant one-packs, Baerolub W-series, to fit most Wood Plastic Composite (WPC) applications. Baerlocher says that by adding its lubricant one-pack, the WPC processor can achieve higher output and improved surface quality, enhanced strength and flexural properties, as well as reduced water absorption.
