Calcium Stearate Light

Item No: Pcs 101

Calcium stearate is physiologically safe, and it is insoluble in most solvents. However, it can dissolve in aromatic compounds when heated, chlorinated hydrocarbons, as well as vegetable and mineral oils and waxes. In the food industry, calcium stearate is used as an anti-caking agent in powdered or granulated food products. It prevents the particles from sticking together, ensuring better flowability and preventing clumping. Calcium stearate is employed as a hydrophobic or water-repellent agent in various applications. In the construction industry, it is added to cement, plaster, or mortar to improve their resistance to moisture absorption.

Applications:

          Plastic Industry: Used as a lubricant and mold release agent in plastic processing.

          Pharmaceutical and Cosmetic Industries: Functions as an anti-caking additive and lubricant in tablet compression and cosmetic formulations.

          Construction Industry: Utilized as a hydrophobic agent to enhance water resistance in cement, plaster, and mortar.

          Stabilizing PVC: Improves heat stability and processing properties of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) when combined with other stearate salts.

          Rubber Industry: Acts as a lubricant, release agent, and softener in rubber processing.

          Abrasive Paper: Works as a lubricant and sanding sealer for improved sanding performance.

          Food Industry: Functions as an anti-caking agent to prevent clumping in powdered or granulated food products.

          Other Industries: Used as a lubricant, release agent, or thickening agent in textiles, paints, coatings, inks, and adhesives.

          Stabilizing PVC: Calcium stearate is frequently used as the main raw material along with other stearate salts, such as zinc stearate and barium stearate, to stabilize polyvinyl chloride (PVC).

These additives enhance the heat stability, processing properties, and mechanical strength of PVC products.
