Enhancement of PVC-Based Product Quality by Development of PVC Thermal Stabilizer

Figure 1. Instrument of thermal stabilizer test for PVC

Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is a polymer that is generally used as building materials such as pipes, window frames, floors, roofs, and cables. Thermal stabilizer acts to prevent PVC breakage during stamping because the process involves heat. Thermal stabilizer for PVC has been developed in laboratory scale. In current research, the stage has reached development in pilot scale and cooperated with PT Timah Industri. This project is granted by Palm Oil Fund Management Agency (Badan Pengelola Dana Perkebunan Kelapa Sawit).
