Plastics, Rubber & Polymers
PVC compounds, rubber goods and polyolefins need additive packages that protect the polymer during processing and give the finished part its flexibility, impact strength and service life. This hub concentrates on PVC additives, where the choice of stabiliser, plasticiser, processing aid and lubricant decides both processing behaviour and regulatory status.
What the application needs. Heat stabilisers stop PVC degrading and releasing hydrogen chloride at processing temperatures. Calcium-zinc systems are the mainstream lead-free choice for pipes, profiles, cables and many food-contact applications. Methyltin and butyltin mercaptides give the best clarity and early colour in rigid clear film, sheet and bottles, and a methyltin grade formulated for CPVC handles its higher processing temperatures. Barium-zinc liquids suit flexible calendered film and plastisols, and potassium-zinc systems act as kickers for chemically foamed PVC. Epoxidised soybean oil (ESBO) works as a co-stabiliser and secondary plasticiser. Among plasticisers, DOTP is a general-purpose non-ortho-phthalate, DINP is widely used in flooring and cable, trioctyl trimellitate (TOTM) gives low volatility for high-temperature wire insulation, and dioctyl adipate improves low-temperature flexibility. Acrylic processing aids promote fusion and melt strength. Acrylic impact modifiers suit weatherable window profiles, MBS suits clear packaging, and chlorinated polyethylene (CPE) toughens pipes and profiles. Internal and external lubricants, including calcium and zinc stearates, balance fusion against metal release, while hindered-phenol and phosphite antioxidants and UV stabilisers protect polyolefins and rubber.
Key specification parameters. For organotin stabilisers, agree tin content and monoalkyl-to-dialkyl ratio; for mixed-metal systems, metal content, volatile matter and physical form (powder, one-pack granule, flake or liquid). Plasticisers are specified by ester content (typically 99.5% minimum), acid value, colour on the Pt-Co scale, water and volatility. ESBO is specified by oxirane oxygen (commonly about 6% or higher) and iodine value. PVC resin is specified by K-value, bulk density, volatile matter and plasticiser absorption, and CPE by chlorine content and Mooney viscosity. For food-contact or potable-water articles, ask for a declaration of compliance against the applicable plastics regulations and approvals.
Recommended product types. Rigid PVC pipe and profile formulations typically combine a calcium-zinc one-pack or a tin stabiliser with an acrylic processing aid, an impact modifier and a balanced lubricant package. Flexible cable compounds use DOTP, DINP or TOTM with a calcium-zinc stabiliser and ESBO. Plastisols for coatings and synthetic leather are built on PVC paste resin with a barium-zinc or potassium-zinc liquid stabiliser.
Handling notes. Lead- and cadmium-based stabilisers are restricted in the EU, and ortho-phthalates such as DEHP (often traded as DOP) and DBP are subject to authorisation and restriction under EU REACH, with equivalent entries retained in UK REACH. Some organotin compounds are restricted in consumer articles and carry serious health classifications, so check the end use and the safety data sheet before selecting a grade. Handle powders with dust extraction, because fine organic dusts can be combustible, keep stabilisers and resins dry and sealed, and store liquid plasticisers away from strong oxidisers.
Products for Plastics, Rubber & Polymers
2,2,4-Trimethyl-1,3-Pentanediol Monoisobutyrate
2,2,4-Trimethyl-1,3-pentanediol monoisobutyrate (CAS 25265-77-4) is the standard coalescent for latex paint. It has a free hydroxyl at one end and an ester at the other, which is what gives it its balance of water and polymer affinity.
2,2,4-Trimethyl-1,3-Pentanediol Diisobutyrate
2,2,4-Trimethyl-1,3-pentanediol diisobutyrate (CAS 6846-50-0) is the di-ester version, with both hydroxyls capped. Having no free hydroxyl it does not evaporate out, so it acts as a permanent plasticiser rather than a coalescent.
MPG - Mono Propylene Glycol
Mono propylene glycol, MPG (CAS 57-55-6, EINECS 200-338-0), does much the same job as MEG but without the toxicity. That single difference is why it, not MEG, is used anywhere near food, people or animals.
DPG - Dipropylene Glycol
Dipropylene glycol, DPG (CAS 25265-71-8, EINECS 246-770-3), is the standard diluent of the fragrance industry. It is almost odourless, low in toxicity and dissolves both fragrance oils and water-soluble materials.
DEG - Diethylene Glycol
Diethylene glycol, DEG (CAS 111-46-6), is a hygroscopic solvent and polyester intermediate. It is acutely nephrotoxic, and its historical substitution for glycerine and propylene glycol in medicines has caused repeated mass poisonings.
Sorbitol
Sorbitol liquid (CAS 50-70-4) is a 70 percent solution of the six-carbon polyol. Industrially it is the starting material for vitamin C manufacture and a polyol for polyurethane, as much as a humectant.
MEG - Mono Ethylene Glycol
Mono ethylene glycol, MEG (CAS 107-21-1), is consumed in far greater volume for polyester manufacture than for antifreeze. It is the diol half of PET, the polymer in every drinks bottle and polyester fibre.
Glycerine
Glycerine (CAS 56-81-5) is a trihydric alcohol recovered as the co-product of soap making and biodiesel. Industrially it is a polyol building block for alkyd and polyurethane resins as much as a humectant.
Sorbitol Powder
Sorbitol powder (CAS 50-70-4) is the crystalline form of the polyol, used where a dry, free-flowing, directly compressible solid is required rather than a syrup. Crystallising it also makes it far less hygroscopic.
PVA 88 - Polyvinyl Alcohol
PVA 88 (CAS 9002-89-5) is polyvinyl alcohol hydrolysed to about 88 percent, leaving roughly one acetate group in eight. Those residual acetates are what make it soluble in cold water, unlike the fully hydrolysed grade.
PVA 99 - Polyvinyl Alcohol
PVA 99 (CAS 9002-89-5) is polyvinyl alcohol hydrolysed to about 99 percent. The near-complete removal of acetate groups lets the chains crystallise, giving higher tensile strength and far better resistance to oil and solvent.
Borax
Borax (CAS 1303-96-4) is sodium tetraborate, the buffering and fluxing borate. It is classified as a reproductive toxicant in the EU, which has restricted its consumer use without affecting its industrial position.
Calcium Hydroxide
Calcium hydroxide (CAS 1305-62-0), hydrated or slaked lime, is the cheapest bulk alkali available. It is only slightly soluble, which is precisely what makes lime slurry a self-buffering pH control reagent.
Calcium Chloride
Calcium chloride (CAS 10043-52-4) dissolves with a strong exothermic reaction, releasing heat rather than absorbing it. That is why it melts ice faster than salt and keeps working at far lower temperatures.
Glucose
Glucose (CAS 50-99-7) is used industrially as a fermentation feedstock and as a reducing agent. In electroless and mirror silvering it reduces silver ions to metal, depositing a coherent film without any electric current.
Caustic Soda Pearls
Caustic soda pearls (CAS 1310-73-2) are sodium hydroxide in small spherical beads at 99 percent minimum. The round form flows freely, generates far less dust than flakes and cakes more slowly on storage.
Potassium Hydroxide
Potassium hydroxide (CAS 1310-58-3), caustic potash, is the potassium analogue of caustic soda. The difference in cation matters: potassium soaps are soft and soluble where sodium soaps are hard.
Maltodextrin
Maltodextrin (CAS 9050-36-6) is starch hydrolysed to a dextrose equivalent below 20. Industrially it is bought as a carrier and encapsulating wall material rather than as a sweetener, because it is bland and film-forming.
Bone Glue
Bone glue is animal collagen hydrolysed further than gelatine, giving lower gel strength and a darker colour. It remains in use in furniture restoration because the joint it makes is reversible with heat and moisture.
Gelatine
Gelatine (CAS 9000-70-8) is partially hydrolysed collagen, graded by Bloom strength. Its industrial uses depend on its ability to form a thermoreversible gel and to adsorb strongly onto surfaces and crystals.
Xanthan Gum
Xanthan gum (CAS 11138-66-2) is used industrially for its shear-thinning behaviour and its tolerance of salt. In drilling fluids it suspends cuttings at rest yet thins under the pump, which is exactly what a mud must do.
Zinc Chloride
Zinc chloride (CAS 7646-85-7) is the active ingredient of soldering flux. It dissolves the oxide film on a metal surface at soldering temperature so the molten solder can wet the bare metal underneath.
Zinc Oxide
Zinc oxide (CAS 1314-13-2) is consumed in greater tonnage by the rubber industry than by all its other uses combined. It activates the sulphur vulcanisation system, without which accelerators barely work at all.
Alkyl Polyglucoside (APG)
Alkyl polyglucoside (CAS 68515-73-1, INCI Coco-Glucoside) is the rare non-ionic surfactant that stays effective in strong caustic. That alkali stability is why it is specified in heavy-duty and CIP cleaning formulations.
Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)
Polydimethylsiloxane (CAS 63148-62-9) is the basic silicone fluid, built on a silicon-oxygen backbone rather than a carbon one. That backbone is what gives it thermal stability and a viscosity that barely changes with temperature.
Isobornyl Acetate
Isobornyl acetate (CAS 125-12-2) is a terpene ester with a clean, fresh pine and camphor odour. It is the standard synthetic replacement for pine needle oil in functional fragrance, where cost and stability rule out the natural.
Calcium Fluoride
Calcium fluoride (CAS 7789-75-5) is the raw material behind essentially every fluorine compound in commerce. Acid grade fluorspar at over 97 percent CaF2 is converted to hydrogen fluoride, and everything fluorinated follows from that.
Fluorite (Fluorspar)
Fluorite, traded as fluorspar, is the mineral form of calcium fluoride. It is sold in two grades that are not interchangeable: acid grade above 97 percent for chemical conversion, metallurgical grade for steel fluxing.
Perlite Ore Sand
Perlite ore is a volcanic glass containing bound water. Heated rapidly past 850 degrees Celsius that water flashes to steam and expands the softened glass up to twenty times, producing a lightweight cellular particle.
Plasticiser
Plasticiser is a class rather than a single product, covering phthalates, terephthalates, adipates, trimellitates and bio-based esters. Selection is a trade-off between efficiency, permanence, cold flexibility and regulatory status.
Sulfur
Sulfur (CAS 7704-34-9) is almost entirely a recovered by-product now, stripped from natural gas and crude oil to meet emissions law. Around 85 percent of world output goes straight into sulphuric acid.
MEA - Monoethanolamine
Monoethanolamine, MEA (CAS 141-43-5), is the benchmark solvent for post-combustion carbon capture. It reacts chemically with carbon dioxide at low partial pressure, where physical solvents cannot absorb enough to be useful.
DEA - Diethanolamine
Diethanolamine, DEA (CAS 111-42-2), is a secondary amine used in gas treating and as a surfactant intermediate. Its position in personal care has narrowed sharply because secondary amines can form nitrosamines.
DOTP - Dioctyl Terephthalate
Dioctyl terephthalate, DOTP (CAS 6422-86-2), is the direct non-phthalate replacement for DOP. It is chemically an isomer, differing only in where the two ester groups sit on the benzene ring, but it is not a phthalate.
Calcium Zinc Compound Stabiliser
The non-toxic replacement for lead stabilisers in PVC, supplied as a graded series covering medical and food-contact soft PVC, wire and cable, pipe, injection fittings, profile, foam and transparent product.
Compound Calcium Zinc Tin Stabiliser System
A one-pack white granular stabiliser combining calcium and zinc soaps with an organotin component, aimed at pipe applications that want tin performance without a fully tin-based cost base.
Methyl Tin Mercaptide

Methyl Tin Mercaptide for CPVC
A methyl tin mercaptide formulated for chlorinated PVC, where the higher chlorine content and processing temperature defeat stabilisers designed for ordinary PVC. Supplied as a clear liquid and as a 25 kg powder.
Butyl Tin Mercaptide
A butyltin mercaptide heat stabiliser for high-transparency PVC sheet, film, pipe and profile. Transparent liquid supplied in IBC tote or drum.
Barium Zinc Heat Stabiliser
Cadmium-free barium-zinc stabilisers for flexible PVC: the liquid grade for soft film and leather, the powder grade for foamed shoe materials and leathers.
Potassium Zinc Heat Stabiliser
A liquid potassium-zinc stabiliser developed for PVC wallpaper foam, where the stabiliser must not interfere with the chemical blowing system.
Epoxidised Soybean Oil (ESBO)
Epoxidised soybean oil (CAS 8013-07-8) is a bio-based plasticiser that is also a secondary heat stabiliser, and one of the few plasticisers with broad food-contact acceptance. Light yellow sticky oily liquid.
Diisononyl Phthalate (DINP)
Diisononyl phthalate, DINP (CAS 28553-12-0), is a high molecular weight phthalate. Its larger branched chains make it far less migratory than DOP and it is not classified as a reproductive toxicant, though toy use is restricted.
Trioctyl Trimellitate (TOTM)
Trioctyl trimellitate, TOTM (CAS 3319-31-1), carries three ester groups instead of two, which raises its molecular weight sharply. That is what makes it the plasticiser for cable rated to continuous high temperature.
Dioctyl Adipate (DOA)
Dioctyl adipate, DOA (CAS 103-23-1), is an aliphatic rather than aromatic plasticiser. Its flexible straight-chain backbone is what gives PVC genuine low-temperature performance, down to around minus 40 degrees Celsius.
Acrylic Processing Aid (ACR)
High molecular weight acrylic polymers that promote fusion and melt strength in rigid PVC, improving surface quality without acting as lubricants.
Acrylic Impact Modifier
All-acrylic core-shell modifiers for outdoor rigid PVC, chosen over MBS where long-term weather resistance matters more than transparency.
MBS Impact Modifier
Methacrylate-butadiene-styrene modifiers give rigid PVC impact resistance while preserving transparency, which is what separates them from other impact modifiers.
Chlorinated Polyethylene (CPE 135A)
CPE 135A (CAS 63231-66-3) is the general-purpose impact modifier for rigid PVC, valued for low-temperature toughness and its tolerance of high filler loadings.
PVC Internal Lubricant
Internal lubricants reduce friction between polymer chains themselves, lowering melt viscosity and frictional heat without delaying fusion. Grades for transparent sheet, film, pipe and CPVC.
PVC External Lubricant
External lubricants control how PVC melt releases from hot metal, preventing plate-out and die build-up. Supplied as powders and flakes across grades for pipe, profile, foam board and master batch.
Calcium Stearate
Calcium stearate is the calcium salt of stearic acid, a vegetable-derived white soap melting at 149-155C, used as an acid scavenger, co-stabiliser and internal lubricant. It is supplied in 125, 200 and 325 mesh, and as beads and granules.
Zinc Stearate
Zinc stearate is the zinc salt of stearic acid, a vegetable-derived white soap used as a PVC co-stabiliser, mould release agent and anti-tack dusting powder in rubber. It melts considerably lower than calcium stearate, at 119-125C.
Hindered Phenol Antioxidants
Primary antioxidants that intercept the free radicals which degrade polymers during processing and service life. Supplied as white powder or granule in the standard industry grades.
Phosphite Antioxidant 168
A secondary antioxidant that destroys hydroperoxides before they can split into new radicals, used alongside hindered phenols rather than instead of them.
Polyvinyl Chloride Resin (Suspension Grade)
Suspension PVC resin (CAS 9002-86-2) graded SG1 to SG8 by K value, sourced from major Chinese producers. SG5 is the general-purpose grade for pipe and profile.
Polyvinyl Chloride Paste Resin
