New Demands on Polymers: Novel Phosphite Stabilizers to Compete with a Changing Global Market
- 20 min
by
Shawn Cook
The effectiveness of phosphite stabilizers in polyolefins is an established technology over the last several decades. Many of these stabilization systems have been optimized over the years and have been “good enough” to meet the demands of the market. However, with the focus on increased Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) resins and ever-increasing regulatory restrictions, what once was good enough is no longer the case.
Furthermore, the recent emphasis on banning or restricting PFAS materials has left many film manufacturers searching for new polymer process aids (PPA). In this session, we will review the challenges facing the industry and show how the solutions are available now. These phosphite solutions can help to reduce gels and possibly act as a suitable PPA replacement, allowing for faster processing and/or increasing percentage of PCR in a particular resin.

Why should you attend?
In this webinar, you will learn :
- Suitable phosphite stabilization in times of supply issues
- How to increase stability of your polymer, or to gain equal stability by using less additives
- How to better stabilize Post-Consumer Resin (PCR) so that it can be used in higher percentages or as a higher-quality grade
- How phosphite technology can also be used as a possible PPA replacement for a PFAS-free system while also providing thermal stability
