AbstractThe health, environmental, and economic problems associated with heavy metal stabilizers are readily controlled or eliminated by a new stabilizer manufacturing and product technology known as Poly‐Checks®. The products are dustless, free‐flowing, noncompactable powders carried on host resins. The impact of these unique physical properties on health, safety, and the environment will be discussed. Suggestions on the use of these products by compounders will be offered that, if put into operation in the user's plant, will open the door to substantial cost reductions in the manufacture of PVC dryblend compo
