Product Performance
  • The basic nature of HyDense Calcium Stearate makes it an effective acid scavenger for polyvinylchloride and polyolefin processing.
  • Low ash content and good dispersibility make the product especially suited for the most critical PVC profile extrusions and polyolefin film extrusion processes where relatively fine extruder screen packs are used.
  • High apparent density and relatively large average particle size helps minimize dust exposure and housekeeping problems in the workplace.
  • The free-flowing nature prevents problems with bridging and caking while facilitating use in virtually any type of bulk handling or conveying and automated weighing and metering systems.
Key Features

Calcium Stearate CHP Granular is produced from a high quality, tallow derived fatty acid for polymer applications requiring a free flowing and low dusting processing aid with excellent handling and feeding characteristics.
