Eco friendly Stabilizers

We always remain supremely conscious of the impact of our operations on the environment. Hence while manufacturing PVC mats, industrial safety mats, industrial flooring mats, we use non toxic calcium based Stabilizers approved by various regulatory authorities for their safety attributes. These Stabilisers provide better color retention, weatherability and excellent heat stability. They do not leach out and are safe for contact with humans. However, the Chinese manufacturers still prefer to use highly toxic lead and Cadmium based stabilizers, just because they are economical in comparison to non toxic Stabilisers.

Effects of Lead & Cadmium based Stabilizers on Environment and Human Health

Lead and Cadmium are rated as highly toxic substances injurious to health.
These stabilizers are often available in powder form. While processing, the particles of powder floats in the air and is ingested by the persons handling them / or other person in vicinity. The dust floating in the air leaves a negative impact on the environment.
Generally after the product is discarded, they decompose over a period of time. The compounds of lead and cadmium leach out and contaminate the ground water.
Consumer goods manufactured using lead and cadmium stabilizers pose a high risk of toxicity. Specially, plastic products such as toys for children.
Lead toxicity causes problems like colic pain, peripheral nerve injury, kidney failure, anemia, decreased intelligence(IQ), altered behavior like irritability, etc.
Cadmium may cause carcinogenicity, reproductive and developmental toxicity, neurotoxicity, toxicity to aquatic organisms etc.

Environmental Concerns

Concerns have been expressed about the possible adverse effect of lead on health and the environment. In view of the above, following recommendation / actions have been in

With an increasing concern to protect Environment, the producer members of European association TEPPFA have discontinued the use of lead stabilizers in potable water pipe since 2005.
The European Stabilizer Producers Association and European Plastic Converters pledged 50% reduction in use of Lead Stabilizers by 2010 and complete phase out by 2015.
The European chemicals regulation, REACH (Registration, Evaluation and Authorization of Chemicals) will also restrict the use of Lead based systems which are expected to be phased out in the EU latest by 2010-2012.

Moreover, European PVC heat stabilizer manufacturers have made a voluntary commitment called "VINYL 2010" to reduce use of lead stabilizers by 50% by 2010 and become completely lead free by 2015.

Sharing Responsibility - Prestige Loop

We share equal responsibility for protecting and preserving the environment. Hence, we only use non-toxic Stabilizers for processing of the PVC mats. Our endeavors go beyond to protect consumer's interest by providing products that comply with regulatory norms and are completely safe to use.
