Technical Details & Test Data

Technical Details

• Working in partnership with major UK building product manufacturers over the past 12 months we have created and achieved approvals for a range of calcium zinc (CaZn) injection molding compounds for building products.
• Marketed under our DuCaVin PVC brand name the grades meet the requirements of BS EN 1401 drain products, BS EN 1329 soil and waste products, BS EN 607 rainwater products and BS5255:1989 specification for waste thermoplastic fittings.
• These new compounds offer greater processing stability and easier processing, compared with lead based materials, plus better color consistency, even with second and third generation material. Talk to us about how to optimize the processing of lead-free materials, guidance on tool design and how to recycle process waste cost effectively.
