- Key Features
MAGNESIUM STEARATE AV - US is produced from a high-quality, tallow-derived fatty acid for polymer and all applications requiring a relatively fine magnesium stearate powder with good handling and feeding characteristics.
- Product Performance
- Due to its physical properties and good thermal stability, MAGNESIUM STEARATE AV - US is an excellent lubricant and release agent for many thermoplastic applications.
- The granular form of MAGNESIUM STEARATE AV - US is low dusting and shows unique handling and feeding characteristics.
- The free-flowing nature of MAGNESIUM STEARATE AV - US eliminates bridging or caking while facilitating use in any type of packaging, bulk handling, or conveying system.
