Identification & Functionality

Features & Benefits

Product Features
Key Features
  • CEASIT AV - US is produced from a high quality, tallow derived fatty acid for polymer applications requiring a free flowing and the lowest dusting processing aid with excellent handling and feeding characteristics.
Product Performance
  • The basic nature of Ceasit AV - US makes it an effective acid scavenger for polyvinylchloride, polyolefin and other polymer processing.
  • Low ash content and good dispersibility make the product especially suited for critical PVC profile and polyolefin film extrusion and other polymer processes where the relative purity precludes processing defects related to calcium stearate.
  • High apparent density and relatively large average particle size helps minimize dust exposure, manage dust control and minimize housekeeping issues in the workplace.
  • The extremely 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.
