Lead-based Stabilizers are used in PVC processing, so Lead is present in minute quantities. However, with growing concerns around the side effects of lead, there are Lead-Free Stabilizers available that can be used in formulating PVC compounds.

In PVC manufacturing, stabilizers are used to improve thermal stability, prevent deterioration, and retain the desirable physical and mechanical attributes of PVC products.
Following are the most commonly used PVC stabilizers additives: Calcium Stearate Zinc Stearate Lead Stearate Hindered Amine Light Stabilizers (HALS) Tribasic Lead Sulfate Methyl Tin Stabilizers
Based on the chemical composition, performance characteristics, and environmental considerations, following are the types of PVC stabilizers. Organotin Stabilizers: Calcium-Zinc Stabilizers: Lead Stabilizers: Barium-Cadmium Stabilizers: Tin Stabilizers: Organic Stabilizers:
