| APPLICATIONS |
- Rigid PVC compounds: COADŽ 10B Calcium Stearate acts as a dispersing aid during the blending cycle, as a lubricant and processing aid during extrusion, and as a mold release agent for injecting molding. It also improves stability by neutralizing acidic decomposition products in the polymerization of certain polyolefins.
- Polyester molding compounds: COADŽ 10B Calcium Stearate is an excellent mold release agent for matched metal die molding under certain conditions.
