COADŽ 10F CALCIUM STEARATE |
|
| |
| DESCRIPTION |
| COADŽ 10F Calcium Stearate is a high grade calcium stearate with a larger particle size than our standard COADŽ 10 Calcium Stearate. It exhibits enhanced flow characteristics due to its higher apparent density. COADŽ 10F Calcium Stearate meets the requirements of PPI-TR3 and NSF Standard 14 for potable water. |

| APPLICATIONS |
- Rigid PVC compounds: COADŽ 10F 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 injection molding. It also improves stability by neutralizing acidic decomposition products in the polymerization of certain polyolefins.
- Polyester molding compounds: COADŽ 10F Calcium Stearate is an excellent mold release agent for matched metal die molding under certain conditions.
