- Key Features
MAGNESIUM STEARATE SW/F 1-US is produced from a high quality; vegetable 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 SW/F 1-US is an excellent lubricant and release agent for many thermoplastics applications.
- The fine particle size provides excellent lubrication and surface quality in a variety of thermoplastic resin molding applications.
- The hydrophobic nature of magnesium stearate combined with the relatively fine particle size and high surface area allow is to function as a hydrophobing agent, dispersion aid and release agent in admixture with a variety of materials.
