(PlastEurope) -- Baerlocher has launched a Ca/Zn stabiliser for use in the manufacture of plastisols for PVC flooring, which that it claims greatly reduces VOC emissions in flooring systems. ⌠Baerostab LOW-VOC Ca/Zn solid and paste products retain the performance benefits of traditional liquid stabilisers in PVC flooring applications, the company said.
They are free from solvent, phenol and ethylhexanoic acid and are claimed to achieve plastisol viscosity properties equal to those seen with traditional liquid stabilisers. They are suitable for use in filled, pigmented and transparent plastisols and have been developed primarily for application in the stabilisation of topcoat flooring.
