Broadly speaking, chemicals that can increase the stability of solutions, colloids, solids, and mixtures are called stabilizers.

Broadly speaking, chemicals that can increase the stability of solutions, colloids, solids, and mixtures are called stabilizers. It can slow down reactions, maintain chemical equilibrium, reduce surface tension, and prevent light, thermal, or oxidative decomposition. Generalized chemical stabilizers come from a wide range of sources, mainly based on the design goals of formula designers, and can flexibly use any chemical to achieve stable product quality
Narrowly speaking, it mainly refers to reagents that maintain the stability of high polymer plastics, rubber, synthetic fibers, etc., and prevent their decomposition and aging.
The commonly used heat stabilizers in industry mainly include lead salts, metal soaps, organic tin, organic antimony, organic rare earths, pure organic compounds, etc. It is estimated that China currently has a production capacity of 70000 tons per year for heat stabilizers, with a consumption of approximately 80000 tons per year in 2000. The development focus of lead salts in China is to eliminate dust pollution, and relevant measures have been taken so far; The consumption proportion of organotin in the Chinese market is relatively low; Due to the ineffective promotion of high-performance auxiliary stabilizers, there is still a lack of cost-effective composite metal soap systems in the market; Rare earth stabilizers are a driving force in the development of heat stabilizers in China. The global consumption of heat stabilizers has exceeded 300000 tons per year, and the United States represents the latest level of development in the world of heat stabilizers, leading the way in lead-free technology; The production of heat stabilizers in Japan is about 60000 to 70000 tons per year, mainly consisting of lead salts; The consumption of heat stabilizers in Western Europe is about 110000 tons per year.
