Description

Cadmium Diricinoleate is a specialized metallic soap derived from ricinoleic acid. This compound serves as a highly effective heat stabilizer and lubricant in polymer processing, offering superior performance in demanding thermal environments. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the plastics, PVC, and specialty chemical industries seeking to enhance the thermal stability and processing characteristics of their formulations.

Application

• Primary Heat Stabilizer for PVC: Provides excellent long-term thermal stability in rigid and flexible PVC compounds, including cables, profiles, and films.
• Lubricant and Processing Aid: Improves flow properties and reduces melt viscosity during the extrusion and calendaring of polymers.
• Synergistic Stabilizer Systems: Used in combination with other metal soaps (e.g., barium, zinc) to create high-performance, cost-effective stabilization packages.
• Specialty Greases and Lubricants: Acts as a thickening agent and provides water resistance and thermal stability in high-temperature lubricating greases.
• Paint and Coating Additive: Functions as a drier and stabilizer in certain specialty coating formulations to prevent skinning and improve film properties.

Quality Control

Our Cadmium Diricinoleate is manufactured under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and reliability. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay, heavy metal limits, and physical property verification, to meet the stringent requirements of industrial polymer applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting all test results is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from strong oxidizing agents and acids. Due to its light-sensitive nature, prolonged exposure to direct light should be avoided.
