PVC: Compounding and formulation

Presentation

Despite of the bad reputation of PVC this plastic is almost essential, hundreds of applications are based in this material due to its high degree of modification.

Understanding all the additives and fillers and how the act in the PVC matrix is mandatory to obtain compounds with good quality to fulfill customer requirements.

Mixing it properly selecting the right mixing device will complement the goodness of the formula. These technical concepts are linked with the current scenario were PVC additives can be banned and the introduction of recycled plastic, circular economy and how it can affect to new formulas and applications.

Objectives

To identify the most appropriated resins for the different applications: Molecular weighs, K-Value, mechanical properties etc…
To understand how to modify properly rigid and plasticized PVC by additives or fillers addition. Thermal stabilization, impact modification, plasticization etc.
To correlate formulations with final properties and how additives and fillers apply for the most typical final products.

To understand the dry blending and compounding process of PVC: processing parameters, control process etc..
To position the PVC in the current scenario of circular economy.
