In Europe liquid BaZn stabilizers are new standards for these applications. In addition to BaZn stabilizers, modern CaZn stabilizer systems fulfill stabilization requirements. The application field for CaZn is still expanding.

For applications such as food packaging, toys, and tablecloths, special CaZn stabilizers have been developed. Independent from metal base aspects like VOCs, odor, toxicity, and labeling are becoming increasingly important for the processing of films. Where special emphasis is placed on low-odor and emission-free products, mixed metals in powder form are available – as fatty acid salts with good self-lubrication, or as stabilizers based on inorganic co-stabilizers, with varying degrees of self-lubrication for strict odor and emissions standards.

Baerlocher stabilizers for films are developed with regard for the safety and protection of people and environment.
When choosing a stabilizer, the requirements of the final product need to be specified in detail in order to achieve ideal properties and maximize cost performance.
