Barium Stearate

Barium Stearate PBAS 501

Barium stearate is white, powder, insoluble in water and has the chemical formula Ba (C18H35O2) 2. When mixed with hot and strong mineral acids, it decomposes into stearic acid and corresponding barium salts. It is insoluble in water and becomes colloidal after heating and dissolving in organic solvent and cooling. They are widely used as high temperature resistant lubricants for machinery, sliding agents, heat stabilizers, light and heat resistant stabilizers, mold release agents and accelerators in plastics, mechanical engineering, rubber industries. , paint and ink, etc. are used.

An excellent heat stabilizer/lubricant for plasticized and rigid PVC.  also, its combination with zinc, cadmium and lead stearates has a very good stabilization effect and also due to waterproofing and lubrication properties is used for metalworking plastics, rubber, waxes and various greases and can be used for thermal and optical stability in plastics.
