- Product Applications
- The basic nature and moderate ash content of the CALCIUM STEARATE RSN VEG (5885) make it an effective acid scavenger as well as processing aid for polyolefin and PVC processing.
- The relatively fine particle size and consistent physical properties allow uniform blending and dispersion with a large variety of materials and provide excellent lubrication in thermoplastic and thermoset molding applications.
- The relatively high surface area allows the product to effectively function as an anti- caking and flow agent for a variety inorganic and organic materials.
