ALCAMIZER® is the brandname for this range of environmentally friendly hydrotalcite products specifically designed to be used as halogen scavengers in heavy metal free stabilizer systems for PVC. Designed for Performance ALCAMIZER® products are generally considered to be the best of their kind. The exceptional stabilizing effect of ALCAMIZER® in PVC originates from its capability to effectively scavenge chloride ions that are released during thermal degradation of the polymer. ALCAMIZER® will exchange the carbonate in its crystal structure for available chloride ions. Since chloride ions bind strongly to the inorganic host, they are rendered harmless, preventing further acceleration of PVC degradation. Advantages of ALCAMIZER® Suitable for Calcium Organic and Tin stabilizing systems for PVC Promotes excellent thermal stability and color hold for PVC applications Complies with all standard requirements for safety and handling Outstanding properties for transparency because its refractive index is similar to that of PVC Superior characteristics for dispersion, weatherability and compounding with high dosage levels Suitable for all types of PVC resin including suspension, emulsion, co-polymers and mixed polymers Peace of Mind included The performance properties of hydrotalcites depend mainly on their chemical composition, so precise process control over Mg, Al and Zn content, crystallization and removal of residual moisture are vital to ensure consistently high quality. ALCAMIZER® products are produced using automated processes that are carefully monitored by our quality control system to ensure your products retain superior heat stability and transparency. In addition, we always have sufficient ALCAMIZER® in stock to guarantee continuity and reliability for our customers around the world.
