The dependable partner at your side
Comprising of six different companies in five
countries, Chemson Group is the world‘s leading manufacturer of PVC stabilisers for today‘s
plastics processing industry. With headquarters
in Austria, production sites in Europe, the USA,
Brazil, Australia and China plus a worldwide sales
and service network, we offer all the advantages
of a global supplier with local support.
Our principle aim is the market success of our
customers. We use this as a yardstick for measurement of our own services. Marked by the
values of innovation, quality and sustainability
and oriented towards the customer, this company philosophy is an integral part of all divisions
and processes of the Chemson Group. The best
The driving force of our success
way is to find out for yourself – by collaborating directly with our employees!
Customer orientation is much more than just
a phrase
• No „standard products“: Each product is developed and bespoke for a specific customer
application.
• Thinking and acting: We are constantly searching for new and better solutions
• International experience: Decades of PVC
know-how and global team work
• Research & Development: Aimed at the customer requirements for the future and delivered today
Technologies that were not even conceivable yesterday can be
crucial for the success of companies tomorrow. Changes to the
technical possibilities, environmental regulations and economic imperatives of the PVC industry constantly demand new, increasingly more innovative stabilising systems.
We always endeavour to keep one step ahead of the market
and provide our customers with today‘s solutions to meet the
requirements of tomorrow. We don‘t just rely on new technical
standards, but also on new ecological benchmarks such as in
the organic-based stabilisers sector, for instance.
„There is no such thing as short-term success. Either you are
successful – also from a long-term perspective - or not.“

>>Quality and Sustainability
>>Chemson PVC-World
From the product to service
Sustainable and efficient
Whatever the technical and ecological requirements of the plastics industry, our stabilisers
are tailor made: High product and service quality is just as important for the success of our
partners as for our own success.
We know the technical facilities of our customers precisely and accompany them through
each phase of the development and production
process. Even with innovative products such as
the new lead-free stabilisers, our Field Service
Staff and our Development Department define
the requirements that are precisely necessary
together with the customer - thus developing
products that meet these requirements as well
as delivering cost advantages.
Our methods of production are exemplary with
regard to emissions, reduction of waste and energy efficiency. Our innovation advantage in the
field of lead-free stabilisers allows us to make a
valuable contribution in terms of the voluntary
commitment of the PVC industry and to support
the REACH Regulation for the protection of human health and the environment.
„Service quality is at least as important as product quality for our customers.“
Additives and auxiliary materials from Chemson are used in
a wide range of end products. In modern, easy-care window
profiles as well as in durable PVC pipes and cables, innovative
floor coverings and the latest soft PVC applications. We pay
special attention to the development of ecologically sustainable
compounds that also satisfy all technical and economic requirements.
Chemson success: Our new product generation of lead-free stabilisers already achieves the same excellent properties as the
traditional systems.
„A development is only sustainable if it meets the needs of
the current generation without jeopardising the opportunities
of future generations ....“
(Brundtland-Report 1987)

>> PVC - Profiles and Plates
>>Innovative Stabiliser Systems
One profile for all cases
One-Pack – all-in-one
Whether window, furniture or PVC wood profiles, foam profiles or plates: the wide variety
of possibilities in construction and design – allied with excellent mechanical properties high
resilience, have made PVC one of the leading
materials for plates and profiles. Because of
the versatility, plastic scores highly with a long
life and exceptional value in terms of thermal
and acoustic insulation, along with an excellent
price-performance ratio and multiple recycling
capability..
In previous years, Chemson has also further increased its market leadership in the field of calcium/zinc stabilisers. In the intervening period,
these systems have proven themselves in the
many and varied application fields of the plastics industry. They are eminently suitable for
use in window profiles, as an example, due to
the very high weathering stability.
„We are aware of the responsibility for subsequent generations and have already introduced
a full range of lead-free stabilisers onto the market.“
Chemson offers a comprehensive range of stabilising products for profiles and plates of all types.
For each specific requirement and for special sys-
tems, we have the ability to develop suitable additives. The end results are perfect extrusion processes combined with excellent profile properties.

>>PVC - Pipes and Fittings
>>Innovative Stabiliser Systems
Quality for more than 100 years
State of the art
PVC piping systems must withstand the harshest conditions over long periods of time. Useful lives of 100 years are truly realistic today
through the use of high quality additives. But
that is not the only reason why PVC pipes and
fittings are considered as especially futureproof: They are also appealing due to a combination of an optimum ecological balance with
an optimum price-performance ratio.
New ecological and economic premises, the
Voluntary Commitment of the PVC industry and
the trend towards sustainable effective products
and systems have led to a striking change in the
requirements for stabilisers.
„Our market advantage in the field of calciumzinc or organic-based systems is passed on to
our customers through our additives.“
Chemson already offers an extensive range of
lead-free stabilisers. First and foremost technologically mature calcium/zinc systems as well as
organically-based Naftosafe® OBS® stabilisers in
the field of stabilising PVC piping systems. Both
are regarded today as the absolute state of the
art on the market.

Advantages of PVC cables:
• High insulation properties and excellent mechanical characteristics: Insulation and sheathing made of PVC are the
No. 1 choice for cables and lines.
• Environmental relevance and recycling:
PVC have no issues from ecological
perspectives.
• Future technology: The innovative Ca/
Zn or Mg/Al/Zn systems meet or exceed
all minimum requirements (especially
in thermal stability and specific contact
resistance)
Advantages of soft PVC:
• High resistance to weathering, long useful life and ease
of laying: Roof sealing strips
made of PVC meet all demands.
• Hygienic and dust-free: Floor
coverings made of PVC which
fulfil the high requirements of
public buildings.
• Less maintenance cost: The
robust surface of soft PVC reduces cleaning expenses and
the use of polish particularly
ideal for schools, offices and
all other buildings with large
floor surfaces.
