1.Overview of lead stabilizers

Lead stabilizer is a commonly used plasticizer, lubricant, and heat stabilizer, often added to products such as plastics, rubber, coatings, etc. to improve their heat resistance, weather resistance, and mechanical properties. Lead stabilizers are usually organic lead compounds, including several types such as ethyl lead, phenyl lead, and lead alkoxide. Although lead stabilizers are widely used in industries such as plastics, they also have environmental and safety issues.

2.The role of lead stabilizer

1). Plasticizer: Lead stabilizers can enhance the interaction force of hydrogen bonds in plastics, improve the flexibility and elasticity of plastics, reduce hardness and brittleness, making plastics easier to process and shape.

2). Lubricants: Lead stabilizers can increase the intermolecular and intramolecular voids in plastics, reduce friction and wear, make plastics easier to flow and form, and improve production efficiency.

3). Heat stabilizer: Lead stabilizers can improve the thermal stability of plastics and rubber, reduce their decomposition and oxidation rates in high temperature environments, and reduce the risk of product aging and failure.
