PVC Stabilizers | Profiles
Adplast, in partnership with IKA, offers high-performance thermal stabilizing systems and lubricant packages for processing rigid PVC (PVC-U) and flexible PVC (PVC-P). Our formulations are engineered to meet the stringent demands of manufacturing window frames, shutters, building elements, and technical industrial components, ensuring superior processability, dimensional stability, and melt rheology control during extrusion.
The PVC window joinery market demands solutions that deliver exceptional long-term resistance to aging, UV radiation, and weathering. Our latest-generation Calcium-Zinc (Ca/Zn) and Organic-Based Stabilizer (OBS) systems prevent thermo-oxidative degradation during high-speed production, ensuring excellent color retention (whiteness preservation and color stability in dark or laminated sections) over decades of outdoor exposure.
The application of our PVC stabilizers spans a broad range of architectural and technical solutions: window and door systems, structural elements, roller shutters, cladding, trim sections, cable trunking, and co-extruded profiles with optimized filler loading (CaCO3) or post-consumer recycled (PCR) content.
IKA additive packages optimize energy consumption on the extrusion line, minimize die build-up (plate-out), and impart a high-gloss, defect-free surface finish. Furthermore, they provide high impact strength and structural integrity to extruded sections, guaranteeing full compliance with demanding European building standards.
Aligned with circular economy directives and sustainability goals, our stabilizer systems for PVC profiles are heavy-metal-free, fully recyclable, and formulated to enhance the technical and ecological competitiveness of extruders across the industry.
Main applications
We offer a complete range of stabilizers and lubricants, tailored to the specific processing requirements of extrusion and co-extrusion for the construction and industrial sectors.
-
Window Joinery (PVC-U): High-weatherability Ca/Zn systems with superior color stability for window profiles. They deliver high impact resistance, extended UV protection, and excellent fusion behavior in high-throughput lines.
-
Roller Shutters, Blinds & Cladding: Formulations optimized for components subject to continuous direct sunlight and thermal fluctuations, ensuring structural rigidity, dimensional stability, and resistance to warping.
-
Technical Extrusions & Trunking: High-precision stabilizing solutions for technical profiles requiring electrical insulation, smooth melt flow, and complete die filling in complex geometries.
-
Panels, Wall Cladding & Building Trim: Additive packages enabling high calcium carbonate (CaCO3) loadings while preserving mechanical strength, surface quality, and line speed.
-
Co-Extruded Sections & Recycled Core (PCR): Specialized solutions designed to enhance interfacial adhesion in multi-layer structures and safely stabilize recycled PVC content within the core layer.
