- Product Performance
- The basic nature of Calcium Stearate makes it an effective acid scavenger for polyvinyl chloride extrusion, polyolefin film extrusion and molding applications.
- The very fine and consistent particle size distribution provides excellent dispersion properties in blending, compounding and extrusion equipment.
- High surface area and fine particle size provides excellent lubrication and surface quality in reinforced thermoset and other molding applications and an excellent anti-tack and mold release agent in rubber applications.
- The hydrophobic nature of calcium stearate combined with the fine particle size and high surface area imparts excellent water repellency to concrete, mortar and other masonry and construction materials.
- Key Features
Calcium Stearate GP Powder is produced from a high quality, tallow derived fatty acid for polymer and all applications requiring a finely divided calcium stearate powder with good handling and feeding characteristics.
