Applications
The blow moulding process for manufacturing PVC bottles operates at
high speed and temperatures to ensure economical production and an attractive
bottle appearance.
Stabiliser Requirements
Stabilisation and good lubrication of the
PVC compound are therefore critical for product quality and process.
As well as being transparent, bottles are
made in an extensive variety of colours, and the stabilisers have to
provide the required colour stability of the bottle as well as long-term
storage stability for the products packaged.
A large proportion of PVC bottles are used
in food packaging for which food-contact approved stabilisers are used.
