In the manufacturing process of poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) material used in low voltage cables insulation, Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3) and Calcium-Zinc (Ca-Zn) could be used as stabilizers.
During thermal aging process, and at high degradation level of the insulation material, how may the release of these additives affect the electrical properties of the material, mainly the electrical conductivity?

Thank you Florian Glodeanu, I actually find your article very helpful.
Dear Youcef,
In general, the loss of stabilizer due to thermal ageing increases the conductivity of the PVC cable insulation. We had several investigations and publications in this filed. I think the attached is a good summary.

Many thanks to professor Zoltán Ádám Tamus for the paper witch agrees with my research field.
