- Key Features
CALCIUM STEARATE FL-VEG AIB (6100) Granular is produced from a high quality; vegetable derived fatty acid for polymer applications requiring a free flowing and low dusting processing aid with excellent handling and feeding characteristics that contributes minimally to extruder screen pack back-pressure.
Applications & Uses

- Base Chemicals End Uses
- Markets
- Applications
- Product Performance
- Low ash content and extremely good dispersibility make the product especially suited for polyolefin extrusion processes where relatively fine extruder screen packs are used.
- The basic nature of HyDense Calcium Stearate makes it an effective acid scavenger for polyolefin and polyvinyl chloride processing.
- High apparent density and relatively large average particle size helps minimize dust exposure and housekeeping problems in the workplace.
- The relative 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.
