The industry group for Plastic Additives develops, manufactures and markets performance plastic additives to improve the environmental compatibility, as hydrotalcite (Sorbacid), which contains no heavy metals, is increasingly replacing LEAD as stabilizer in PVC.

The level of thermal stability demanded by the plastics industry is particularly high. In this respect, synthetic hydrotalcites are the perfect additive to use in Ca/Zn-Stabilizers. In terms of environmental compatibility, SORABACID® represents a real alternative to lead-based stabilizers in the processing of PVC.
