Description

Barium Myristate is the barium salt of myristic acid, a white to off-white powder with the chemical identifier CAS NO 10196-66-4. This compound serves as a highly effective heat stabilizer and lubricant in polymer processing, valued for its ability to prevent degradation and improve material flow. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the plastics, rubber, and specialty chemical industries for producing PVC, synthetic rubbers, and other halogenated polymers.

Application

• Primary Heat Stabilizer for rigid and flexible Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) formulations.
• Lubricant and Processing Aid in the extrusion and calendering of plastics to reduce friction and improve surface finish.
• Stabilizer Component in wire and cable insulation compounds to enhance thermal stability.
• Additive in synthetic rubber production to prevent scorching during processing.
• Water Repellent Agent in the treatment of textiles and construction materials.
• Grease Thickener in the formulation of certain high-temperature lubricating greases.
• Catalyst or Reaction Modifier in specific organic synthesis processes.

Quality Control

Our Barium Myristate is manufactured under a stringent quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and performance reliability. The product is tested against key parameters including assay, heavy metal content, and loss on drying. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting these results is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with agreed specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from strong acids and incompatible materials. The product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and should be handled in a dry environment to prevent caking.
