With the global increase in environmental awareness and stricter regulations, such as the EU's RoHS environmental directive, higher environmental requirements are being imposed on plastic additives. Calcium Acetylacetonate, as a RoHS-compliant eco-friendly product, is an ideal replacement for lead-based additives. This positions it as a high-performance, cost-effective new plastic stabilizer in the market. Particularly in applications involving halogenated polymers like PVC, its market potential is substantial.
Compounding is the process of mixing raw polymers with various additives to create a homogenous material that meets specific performance criteria. This process often involves melt blending, where materials are mixed at elevated temperatures to facilitate uniform distribution of additives.
