Revada Plastic continues its systematic work on the transfer of Russian PVC processors to lead-free thermal stabilization systems. For Revada Plastic, the development of a line of lead-free Reapac stabilizers is not a fad, but a technological necessity and an element of a long-term ESG strategy.
As part of the project, regular industrial tests of the Reapak stabilizer were carried out at the production site of our long-time client, a large regional manufacturer of window profiles with a long history of work in the PVC systems market.
Together with the customer’s specialists, Revada Plastic technologists optimized the formulation and processing parameters. The obtained profiles demonstrated the required indicators of impact strength, whiteness and thermal stability, as well as the stability of the results from batch to batch, which is especially important for the serial production of window systems.
Lead-free technology
The transition to lead-free technology based on Reapac provides a number of practical advantages for the processor:
- weight reduction of the finished profile by an average of 2% due to formulation optimization;
- increased safety at the mixing and extrusion site by eliminating lead components;
- expanding potential sales markets in regions with increasingly stringent environmental requirements;
- the possibility of recycling products without significantly reducing the thermal stability of the compound;
- strengthening the manufacturer’s image as a responsible supplier of modern PVC solutions.
