FB-100 Calcium-Zinc Stabilizer for Printable PVC Edge Banding
WANSYN FB-100 is a powder calcium-zinc stabilizer for processors producing printable furniture edge banding and selected decorative PVC profiles. The grade is designed to balance heat stability, fusion behavior, surface gloss, line cleanliness and downstream print reception. It is supplied through WANSYN's PVC stabilizer portfolio, supported by a modern production base with annual stabilizer capacity of 50,000 metric tons.
Target Benefits and Application Scope
- Heat-stability support for PVC edge-banding extrusion or related calendering
- Controlled fusion and flow with a correctly balanced lubricant package
- High-gloss surface target for wood-grain and solid-color edge strips
- Low plate-out and cleaner die or roll surfaces under suitable conditions
- Color consistency and print-receptive surface development
Typical applications include printable PVC furniture edge banding, high-gloss edge strips and selected decorative PVC profiles. FB-100 should not automatically be transferred to ABS or another polymer; identify every layer in a coextruded structure.
Printing Performance Is a System Result
| Control area | Information to review | Recommended check |
|---|---|---|
| PVC formulation | Resin K-value, filler, TiO2, pigments and modifiers | Fusion, color and surface uniformity |
| Stabilizer and lubrication | Current chemistry, dosage and internal/external lubricants | Torque, plate-out, die build-up and gloss |
| Surface treatment | Corona, flame or primer and target dyne level | Treatment uniformity before printing |
| Ink and curing | Ink chemistry, drying or UV-curing parameters | Customer-approved adhesion, rub and ageing tests |
A stabilizer can influence fusion and surface chemistry, but it cannot guarantee ink adhesion by itself. Treatment, ink, curing, contamination and conditioning must be controlled.
What to Measure During an FB-100 Trial
- Fusion time, torque, motor load and output stability
- Initial color, gloss, smoothness, flow marks and oil spots
- Plate-out, die deposits and cleaning interval
- Surface-treatment level before printing
- Ink adhesion using the customer's tape, cross-hatch, rub or ageing method
- Flexing, trimming and application performance of the finished edge banding
Dosage and Lubrication Balance
FB-100 does not have one universal dosage. WANSYN can propose a starting trial direction after reviewing the current stabilizer and full formulation. Final dosage and lubrication must be confirmed on the intended line. If adhesion is poor, distinguish incomplete fusion, lubricant migration, surface contamination, insufficient treatment, incompatible ink and inadequate curing before changing the stabilizer.

Information Required for Grade Matching
- PVC resin grade and complete formulation
- Filler, pigment, TiO2, modifier and processing-aid levels
- Current stabilizer, dosage and lubricant package
- Extruder, die, temperature profile, speed and cooling
- Surface treatment, target dyne, ink and curing system
- Adhesion-test method, current defect, required documents and annual volume
Frequently Asked Questions
Can FB-100 guarantee ink adhesion?
No. It is designed to support a suitable extrusion surface, but adhesion must be validated with treatment, ink, curing and the customer's test.
Can it reduce plate-out?
It is designed for low plate-out when stabilization and lubrication are matched. Measure deposits during a controlled line trial.
Is it suitable for high-gloss edge banding?
It can be evaluated; gloss also depends on fusion, die condition, pigment dispersion, cooling and surface treatment.
Can it directly replace the current stabilizer?
A one-for-one replacement should not be assumed. Compare chemistry, dosage, formulation and processing window.
Which documents are available?
Availability is confirmed by grade and market. List required TDS, SDS, RoHS, REACH or third-party reports in the RFQ.
