Cost-Effective Calcium Stearate Replacement for PVC
CS Ultra™ is a specially formulated PVC additive designed as a 100% replacement for Calcium Stearate in rigid PVC and uPVC applications. It combines the functions of an internal lubricant, external lubricant, processing aid, and dispersion improver to support smoother and more stable PVC processing.
By reducing friction between the resin and filler during processing, CS Ultra™ helps improve extrusion performance, dispersion, surface finish, and overall product consistency. It can also help PVC manufacturers reduce formulation costs while maintaining reliable processing performance.
