Dr Sean Cockett, technical director of Kestrel, discusses the facts about PVC Stabilisers.

However, it's important that as an industry we are also aware of other challenges facing us over 2010 and beyond.

As the UK's largest manufacturers of calcium organic stabilised PVC-UE building products, I feel it's partly our responsibility to try to clarify to your readers at least one of these challenges - The facts about the latest environmental and legislative developments as they affect PVC stabilisers; especially as there appears to be some misunderstanding circulating in the market!
