Plumbex: Lead stabilizer

Lead-based stabilizers for pipe, roofing, ceiling, gutters, conduit and cable, in low-dust form.

TDS and MSDS are sent on request.

Lead one-pack stabilizers with a wide processing window.

Plumbex rigid grades are one-pack stabilizers: basic lead salts and lubricants in one material, with good long-term heat stability. For cable, PB-510 gives good heat aging and electrical insulation properties.

We can adjust the formulation to your resin and machine. If your market starts asking for lead-free products, our team can support the move to Calzora.

Key features

  • One-pack: stabilizers and lubricants in one dosing step
  • Wide processing window and good long-term heat stability
  • Low-dust form for safer handling
Use notes

Not for products in contact with food or drinking water, toys and childcare articles, or markets that restrict lead (for example EU REACH/RoHS). Follow the applicable national regulations, including SNI. Do not mix with tin stabilizers.

Frequently asked questions

Can Plumbex be used for drinking-water pipe?

No. Plumbex is not for products in contact with food or drinking water, toys and childcare articles, or markets that restrict lead. For those applications, use Calzora.

Can Plumbex be mixed with a tin stabilizer?

No. Mixing lead and tin stabilizers causes sulfur staining. Clean the equipment when changing stabilizer systems.
