Key Features

Calcium Stearate LA GPF Granular is a high-density, free-flowing granular powder for polymer applications, particularly polyolefin film and fiber grades, requiring a free-flowing, low-ash lubricant or processing aid with easy handling and consistent feeding characteristics.

Product Benefits
  • Lower Dusting

Higher density and larger particle size minimize dust problems in the workplace, compared to fine ocwders.

  • Easy Handling

The free-flowing nature of the product prevents problems with bridging and caking while facilitating use in virtually any type of bulk handling or conveying system and in automated weighing and metering systems.

  • Low Ash

Lower ash content rakes this product especially suited for polyolefin film and fiber processes, where relatively fine extruder screen packs are used

  • Acid Scavenging

The basic nature of yDense Calcium Stearate makes it an effective acid scavenger for polyolefin processing.
