PVC Q&A
-
We are looking for a PVC compound that exhibits water blush resistance. Do you have any recommendations? This is for PVC calendering film applications.Answered February 17th, 2012 by Expert:It is difficult for me to recommend specific companies on a blog such as this because of commercial sensitivities. However, I am aware of the phenomenon of water blush in film applications and bag clearing effects and there are companies who I am confident could supply appropriate compounds and recommended procedures to ameliorate such a phenomenon. Therefore I would recommend you attempt to make contact with compound manufacturers and request their help.
