Product Advantages

Superior Heat Stability

Calcium stearate provides excellent thermal resistance, preventing PVC degradation at high processing temperatures, a key aspect of effective PVC stabilization.

Enhanced Processability

Acting as both an internal and external lubricant, it reduces friction and prevents material buildup on equipment, directly addressing how calcium stearate works in PVC to improve efficiency.

Acid Scavenging Properties

The calcium stearate acid scavenger function is critical for neutralizing HCl released during PVC processing, thereby protecting the polymer from further breakdown.

Key Applications

PVC Pipes and Profiles

Essential for extrusion, calcium stearate ensures smooth processing and good surface finish, vital for PVC heat stabilizer and lubricant applications.

Wire and Cable Insulation

Improves thermal stability and lubrication in insulation layers, showcasing the benefits of calcium stearate in plastics.

Paints and Coatings

Used as a matting agent and anti-settling agent, contributing to paint formulation stability.

Construction Materials

Acts as a water repellent in concrete and other building materials, enhancing durability.
