Laboratory tests were intended to show differences in processing and weatherability which occur when various powdered and liquid barium/cadmium stabilizers are used alone and in combination with epoxy plasticizer and phosphite. The results show that in the selection of stabilizers it is not necessarily the metal content of the stabilizer which is important, but rather that optimum weathering stability is achieved by the correct combination of complex barium, cadmium and zinc components. Liquid barium/cadmium/zinc compounds of the IRGASTAB BC 445 type, combined with epoxy plasticizer and phosphite, give optimum stabilization of plasticized PVC, ease of processing and excellent weatherability.
