COADŽ 10G CALCIUM STEARATE |
|
| |
| DESCRIPTION |
| COADŽ 10G Calcium Stearate is a high quality calcium stearate engineered to have a higher ash content where the addtional basicity is desired to neutralize acidic residues in certain polymerization reactions. COADŽ 10G Calcium Stearate meets the requirements of PPI-TR3 and NSF Standard 14 for potable water. |

| APPLICATIONS |
- Rigid PVC compounds: COADŽ 10G Calcium Stearate acts as flow aid during blending cycles, as a lubricant and processing aid in extrusion operations, 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 10G Calcium Stearate is an excellent mold release agent for matched metal die molding under certain conditions.
