About Us

 

Modern Chemicals and Plastics was established by technically qualified personnel in the year 1955 initially to anufacture metallic stearates. The company then diversified its activities to manufacture paints additives such as driers. As time passed, we widened our range as PVC stabilizers by incorporating lead compounds, Barium / Cadmium solids and liquids, Calcium / Zinc complexes. In all our endeavors, in-house development of technology was of paramount importance.

As the needs of industry went on Changing, more sophisticated high performance equipments & processes started appearing in the market place. This opened new opportunities for us. To keep abreast with the latest developments and to expand our activities, the range of liquid Barium / Cadmium, Calcium / Zinc, Barium / Zinc stabilizers for indoor and outdoor applications of PVC were developed and manufactured.

Modern Chemicals and Plastics is one of the leading manufacturers of speciality chemicals that improve the performance characteristics of a wide variety of products.

The company's success is primarily due to its consistent ability to provide customers with top quality products, technical assistance and solutions for their ever changing needs. For the paints and coating industries we satisfy many major needs from driers, fungicides, dispersion aids and viscosity modifiers. Other metal soaps and viscosity modifiers. Other metal
soaps and chemicals produced by the company find application as fungicide and preservatives for adhesives, cordage, textiles and wood. Still others serve as components in metal plating, as additives and anti-corrosive compounds for lubricants, and as combustion catalysts for fuel oil.

Our products are tested through rigorous quality control both with regard to raw materials and finished products. In
addition, we offer pre and after sales technical assistance to our customers through our trained and experienced personnel and undertake development of special formulations tailored to their requirements.

Both Modstab and Stabiplast PVC stabilizers are very well accepted by leading manufacturers of PVC industry. MCP
products are exported to Middle East, Sri Lanka and African Countries.

TOWARDS THE FUTURE

MCP will also manufacture customised stabilizers for specific purposes for the consumer requirements. This will benefit us to establish better products rapport and acquire ability to meet the international standards.

In the future, our main thrust shall be on exports of polymer additives manufactured by us. Export of the products shall
require local agents to market and promote our products in their region. We are open for such agencies, or distributorship.

Research and Development with present laboratory set up & technical assistance, the company has made products of
international repute, technically sound backup to market their products in a better way.

Our aim is to go for better liquid stabilizers systems, more environmental friendly, to avoid using various solids, toxic
stabilizers. To expand our market on non-toxic stabilizers for medical, toys & water bottles applications.

Liquid Kickers for Pressure-Less Expansion of Plasticized PVC

   
  General
 

The Modstab types listed below are liquid kickers for the pressure-less expansion of PVC pastes.

Modstab kickers lower the decomposition temperature of azo dicarbonamide. Their use thus permits the pressure-less expansion of PVC to be effected at the normal processing temperatures. These products have at the same time a stabilizing effect on the PVC, so that it is unnecessary to add any other stabilizers.

The easy dispersibility of the liquid Modstab kickers in PVC plastisols ensures a uniform cellular structure and foam density. The viscosity of the PVC pastes is reduced in most cases.

   
  Metal Basis
  The stabilizers of this series are based on Cd/Zn, Ba/Zn, K/Zn complexes and Zn blended with special additives for optimum performance.

  Storage
  These products should be kept protected in dry place. The containers must always be kept tightly closed.
   
  Applications
 

Modstab kickers differ in their influence on the rate of decomposition of the blowing agent.

The Selection of the suitable kicker depends on the processing conditions and on the PVC : plasticizer ratio.

   
 
Kicker Expansion rate Particularly suitable for
Modstab M 60 Rapid High production rate, low processing temperature, all applications
Modstab M 61 Rapid Fine-cellular foams
Modstab M 62 Slow (Bottle Seals) Non - Toxic
Modstab M 66 Medium All applications
Modstab M 67 Medium Relatively hard foams
Modstab M 68 Rapid All applications
Modstab M 69 Very rapid High production rate, low processing temperature
Modstab M 70 Slow

Fine-cellular, relatively hard foams
   
  When M 61 is used, discoloration of the end products may be caused by sulphur- containing compounds.
   
  Dosage
  The amount of kicker to be used depends on the application intended.

Experience has shown that the kickers develop their best effect when applied in the same amount as the blowing agent.

Modstab kickers function as thermostabilizers in the coating of woven fabrics, felts, etc. with PVC pastes based on prestabilized emulsion polymers.

Recommended amount to be used: 1.5-3 phr

If exceptionally high thermal long-term stability of the PVC compound is required, we recommend the addition of Epoxidised oils.
