- Key Features
Calcium Stearate HP 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.
- Product Performance
- The basic nature of HyDense Calcium Stearate makes it an effective acid scavenger for polyolefin film extrusion and molding applications.
- Moderate ash content and good dispersibility make the product suitable for almost any polymer application, from high throughput PVC pipe and profile extrusions to polyolefin film extrusion and various molding processes.
- 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.
