Calcium stearate is a white powder, chemical product that is insoluble in water. We may not know much about it, but its applications are vast. What is the specific use of it mainly for occupations? The following Shandong calcium stearate manufacturers will give you a detailed introduction:

1. Calcium stearate can be used as a plasticizer in rubber processing to soften natural rubber and synthetic rubber, but has little effect on vulcanization. It is also used as a thickening agent for greases, a waterproofing agent for textiles, a flatting agent for paints, and a plasticizer when making plastic records.

2. For food packaging. Medical devices and others that require non-toxic soft films and devices. It can also be used as a halogen absorber for polyethylene and polypropylene to eliminate the adverse effects of residual catalyst on color and stability.

3. As a non-toxic stabilizer for PVC, it has little initial coloration and good weather resistance. This product is not easy to use alone, because it has obvious catalytic effect on the degradation of polyvinyl chloride, and after a period of time, it can cause the product to change color rapidly. Works with barium cadmium soap for general soft products. The dosage of the product is not easy to be too large, but when used in conjunction with epoxy compounds and phosphites, the dosage can be increased appropriately.

4. Commonly used in food packaging films, medical appliances and other non-toxic soft products. Adding basic lead salt and lead soap to hard products can increase the gelation speed.
