At NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD., we believe in empowering our clients with detailed knowledge about the products they use. Calcium Stearate, a ubiquitous chemical additive, possesses a set of distinct physical and chemical properties that make it invaluable across numerous industrial applications.

Calcium Stearate is characteristically a fine, white powder. It is insoluble in water, cold ethanol, and ether, which are common solvents. However, it demonstrates solubility in hot benzene, benzene, and turpentine, and is slightly soluble in hot ethanol and ether. This selective solubility is key to its function in various formulations.

When subjected to heat, Calcium Stearate begins to decompose slowly at around 400°C, and it is flammable. Its reaction with strong acids is also noteworthy; it decomposes into stearic acid and the corresponding calcium salt. This reactivity needs to be considered during handling and formulation. Furthermore, the product is hygroscopic, meaning it readily absorbs moisture from the air.

Despite these reactive properties, Calcium Stearate is highly valued for its benefits, including excellent lubricity, which improves the flow and processing of materials like plastics. Its stability contributes to the longevity and performance of products, especially as a heat stabilizer. The moisture resistance it imparts is also a significant advantage in applications where protection against humidity is required.

Understanding these fundamental properties is crucial for effectively utilizing Calcium Stearate. As a leading calcium stearate powder supplier, NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. ensures that our product meets high purity standards, enabling you to leverage its benefits efficiently. Whether you need it as a plastic auxiliary agent or for any other industrial use, our commitment to quality guarantees a reliable supply.
