White powder, insoluble in water, cold ethanol and ether, dissolved in hot benzene, benzene and turpentine and other organic solvents, slightly soluble in hot ethanol and ether.
Property:
Calcium stearate appearance of fine white, fluffy powder, creamy feel, soluble in water, toluene, ethanol and other organic solvents.
Calcium stearate is a good non-toxic heat stabilizers and lubricants, but also adhesives, paint plain agent and waterproofing agent in the plastics and rubber chemical production process widely used. Thermal stability as effective as barium stearate, lead stearate, tin stearate and cadmium stearate. But cheap, low toxicity, good processing performance. Zinc soap and an epoxy compound with a synergistic effect, can improve the thermal stability. Commonly used in non-toxic food packaging films, medical devices and other requirements of soft products. Also widely used as the polyolefin, polyester reinforced plastics, phenolic resins, amino resins and other thermosetting plastics lubricant and release agent.
