Arkem a company in France recently developed a special chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC) product Lucalor CPVC, which is easier to blend with PVC to improve its rigidity, plasticity and other properties. It can give PVC material better heat resistance, lower heat distortion, better flame retardancy, lower smoke emission and so on. It is used in film products and can impart better flexibility, better weldability, and thermoforming properties to the film. In addition it can also be used to improve the transparency of the product so that it can be used for food packaging materials. Lucalor CPVC is specially designed and manufactured for PVC materials. It has the advantages of good compatibility with PVC materials, easy mixing, and easy direct manufacturing.
