- Key Features
CALCIUM STEARATE RSN POWDER (5870) is produced from a high quality, tallow derived fatty acid for polymer and all applications requiring a relatively fine calcium stearate powder with good handling and feeding characteristics.
- Product Performance
- The basic nature of HyDense Calcium Stearate makes it an effective acid scavenger for polyvinyl chloride extrusion, polyolefin extrusion and molding applications.
- Consistent physical properties and medium density provide excellent blending and dispersion properties with a large variety of materials.
- The relatively fine particle size provides excellent lubrication and surface quality in phenolic and other resin molding applications.
- The hydrophobic nature of calcium stearate combined with the relatively fine particle size and high surface area imparts excellent water repellency to concrete, mortar and other masonry and construction materials.
