Calcium Stearate | 1592-23-0

Description :

Overview of Calcium Stearate

Calcium Stearate is a metallic salt (soap) of stearic acid and calcium. As a premier Industrial Chemical Supplier, Chemical Bull provides high-purity Calcium Stearate known for its exceptional lubricating and water-repelling properties.

Characterized as a fine, white, silky-to-the-touch powder, Calcium Stearate (CAS 1592-23-0) is recognized for its high-temperature stability and non-toxic nature. These attributes make it an indispensable additive across various sectors, from heavy industrial manufacturing to sensitive food packaging applications.

Applications of Calcium Stearate

This product’s versatility allows it to lead the rankings in several key industrial categories:

Plastic & Polymer Industry: The Internal Lubricant Calcium Stearate is a critical additive within the Industrial Chemicals.

• PVC Processing: It acts as an internal lubricant and acid scavenger during PVC extrusion. It significantly reduces friction between polymer particles, improving the melt flow and the surface finish of pipes and profiles.

• Pigment Dispersion: It aids in the uniform distribution of colorants within plastics, ensuring a consistent and vibrant appearance in the final molded products.
  
  

Construction & Cement Industry: Waterproofing Specialist. In construction chemicals, its role is vital for structural longevity:

• Water Repellent: Calcium Stearate is integrated into cement-based products like concrete, mortars, and stuccos to act as a potent waterproofing agent, effectively blocking moisture absorption.

• Efflorescence Control: It helps prevent the formation of white salt deposits (efflorescence) on masonry walls, maintaining the aesthetic and structural integrity of buildings.
  
  

Pharmaceuticals & Personal Care. Its utility extends into the Pharmaceutical Excipients

• Tablet Manufacturing: It serves as a reliable anti-adherent and lubricant, preventing tablets from sticking to the punches and dies during high-speed compression.

• Cosmetics: In the Personal Care, it is used in powders and creams as a texture enhancer and anti-caking agent, often paired with Zinc Stearate for a smooth, professional finish.

Safety, Handling & Professional Storage

For technical buyers, compliance and safety are paramount:

• Handling: Calcium Stearate is non-hazardous, but inhalation of fine dust can be an irritant. Use standard PPE (Personal Protective Equipment), including dust masks and gloves, in manufacturing zones.

• Storage: Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Keep away from direct sunlight and moisture, as humidity can affect its flowability and performance.

• Regulatory Compliance: Our Calcium Stearate follows international safety standards, backed by batch-specific COA and MSDS documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Is Calcium Stearate safe for use in food-contact plastics?
   Yes, Calcium Stearate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) and is commonly used in food-grade packaging as an anti-block agent and lubricant.
   
   
2. How does it improve PVC pipe manufacturing? 
   It reduces the internal friction of the PVC melt during extrusion, which prevents equipment wear and ensures the pipes have a smooth, high-quality internal and external surface.
   
   
3. Can it be used in exterior wall coatings? 
   Absolutely. Due to its water-repellent properties, it is a preferred additive in exterior coatings and cement-based finishes to prevent water penetration and salt leaching.
