The paper industry relies on a variety of specialty chemicals to achieve desired paper properties, from printability and gloss to strength and surface smoothness. Calcium Stearate (CAS: 1592-23-0) is a key additive that significantly contributes to these qualities, primarily acting as a lubricant and a surface conditioner. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM, a leading supplier of industrial chemicals, offers high-quality Calcium Stearate tailored for the paper manufacturing sector.

Calcium Stearate: Enhancing Paper Surface Properties

In paper manufacturing, Calcium Stearate is commonly applied during the calendering process. Calendaring is a finishing process where paper passes through a series of rollers to smooth the surface, increase gloss, and improve printability. Calcium Stearate acts as a lubricant in these paper coatings and calendering applications. Its presence reduces friction between the paper surface and the calendering rolls, preventing sticking and enhancing the gloss and smoothness of the paper or paperboard.

Beyond its lubricating function, Calcium Stearate also serves as a surface agent that can improve the hydrophobicity of the paper. This means it can help the paper resist moisture and ink penetration, leading to sharper printed images and reduced feathering. For paperboard applications, it helps prevent dusting and fold cracking, ensuring better handling and durability.

The controlled particle size and dispersion properties of Calcium Stearate are crucial for achieving uniform coating and optimal surface finish. Manufacturers seeking to improve the quality and performance of their paper products will find Calcium Stearate an invaluable additive.
