Description

Calcium Oleate is the calcium salt of oleic acid, a key metallic soap widely used as a stabilizer, thickener, and water-repellent agent. Its primary commercial value lies in its ability to function as a non-toxic, cost-effective gelling and dispersing agent in various industrial formulations. This compound is essential for manufacturers in the plastics, lubricants, coatings, and personal care industries seeking reliable process aids and performance additives.

Application

• PVC Stabilizer: Acts as a co-stabilizer and lubricant in flexible and rigid polyvinyl chloride (PVC) formulations, enhancing heat stability and processing.
• Grease Thickener: Serves as a soap-based thickener in the production of calcium complex and multi-purpose lubricating greases.
• Waterproofing Agent: Imparts water-repellent properties to textiles, papers, and construction materials like concrete and mortar.
• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Used as an opacifying agent, viscosity modifier, and emulsion stabilizer in creams, lotions, and makeup products.
• Paint & Coating Additive: Functions as a dispersing agent and flatting agent in paint systems to control gloss and improve pigment suspension.
• Putty and Sealant Formulation: Provides body and non-sag properties in automotive, construction, and industrial sealants and caulks.
• Polymer Processing Aid: Improves internal lubrication and mold release in the processing of various polymers, reducing energy consumption.
