Course Description

Ease your PVC stabilizer selection process to meet today’s processing & quality needs with an in-depth understanding of individual additives inside stabilizers, their function, important effects and side effects.

PVC expert, Michael Schiller will decode the black box of stabilizer one-pack (co-stabilizers, lubricants, light stabilizers, processing aids, colorants...) to ease your selection process – what to use, what to avoid. You will be able to solve/avoid unexpected problems by applying systematic investigations (save time, trials and money!)

Why should you view this course?

In the PVC industry, the long-standing needs include efficient processing, enhancing product quality, and cost-cutting. Experts recommend that you select the stabilizers carefully in order to achieve the same. But due to the lack of efficient knowledge transfer between the older & newer generation, the stabilizer one-pack is often viewed as a “black box”! And the added regulatory pressure (lead and tin stabilizers) makes the selection process more challenging. Join this course to:

  1. Ease your selection process by getting a clear understanding of the various additives within the PVC stabilizer one-pack (co-stabilizers, lubricants, light stabilizers, processing aids, colorants...) their effects and unwanted side effects.

  2. Solve unexpected problems faster (unwanted deposits during extrusion i.e. plate out, discolorations, formation of surface defects...) by applying systematic investigations.

  3. Meet today’s processing & quality needs while saving time, trials, and money with expert guidance.

Who should join this course?
    • Engineers, technicians, chemists in development, production, application engineering, and quality control of PVC production and processing.
    • Participants from suppliers of the stabilizer industry will get a chance to understand side effects with other additives while their materials are used.
  • This course is suitable for beginner level proficiency
