Coad® 13P Calcium Stearate

High grade calcium stearate. It acts as a catalyst neutralizer in polypropylene, as a dispersing aid during the blending cycle, as a lubricant and processing aid during extrusion. Also acts as a mold release agent for molding. It provides significant lower dusting than traditional stearates of finer particle size and its larger, friable granules readily disperse during blending or processing to provide excellent mold release and lubricating properties. It appears as free flowing, granular white powder with slight fatty odor and is practically insoluble in water. It is developed for the polyolefin, SMC and BMC processing industry. It is designed to replace precipitated grades of calcium stearate in demanding thin film and fiber applications and specifically designed for polymers where filterability through screenpacks is critical.
