Overview of Barium Stearate

Barium Stearate can be described as a multi-faceted metal soap that is widely utilized to make Plastic & Rubber Chemicals as an stabilizer, lubricant as well as a processing aid. It's a fine white solid. It is often known as Barium Stearate Powder, and is a popular choice for enhancing performance of the flow system in terms of heat resistance and dispersion of polymer systems.

For those who are not technical, Barium stearate powder can be described as a compound which makes rubbers and plastics more efficient to process, increases the flexibility of these materials, as well as improving the overall performance of products. It is often used in rubber, plastics and special polymer formulations that allow for seamless processing as well as improved mechanical properties.

In industrial applications, Barium Stearate is often used with chemicals such as Acrylamide, 3-Mercaptopropyl Trimethoxysilane, and Azodicarbonamide to improve lubrication, thermal stability, and curing behavior.

Applications of Barium Stearate

Plastic & Rubber Processing

Barium Stearate acts as a stabilizing and lubricant in PVC, rubber, as well as other polymers. It makes the process more efficient, reduces sticking, and also improves the quality of the finished surface.

 

Heat & Light Stabilizer

It increases the thermal stability of products and aids them to stay young, and so can be useful for objects that are exposed to sunlight and heat.

 

Catalyst & Additive Applications

Barium Stearate is a component of specific chemical blends and soaps in order to aid in curing, polymerization, as well as spreading the additives uniformly.

 

Industrial Chemical Formulations

It is widely used in sealants, adhesives, coatings and blends of elastomers due to its ability to stabilize, lubricate and enhances circulation.

 

 

Safety & Handling Guidelines

  • Keep it in a cool, dry and well ventilated space.

  • Make sure containers are tightly sealed whenever not when not in use.

  • Beware of eye and skin contact

  • Avoid inhalation from dust

  • Make sure you wear protective gloves, goggles, and appropriate clothing

  • Beware of incompatible materials as well as heat sources

  • Utilize normal industrial chemical handling practices

  • Get rid of waste containers and other materials in accordance with local environmental laws.
