Description

Calcium Myristate is a white, fine powder classified as the calcium salt of myristic acid. This compound serves as a highly effective and versatile metal soap, valued for its role as a stabilizer, lubricant, and water-repellent agent in numerous industrial formulations. It is a critical material for manufacturers in the plastics, personal care, and coatings industries seeking to improve product performance and processing characteristics. Consistent quality and reliable supply of Calcium Myristate CAS NO 15284-51-2 are essential for maintaining production efficiency and final product integrity.

Application

• Plastics & Polymer Additive: Functions as an acid scavenger and lubricant in PVC processing, and as a stabilizer in polyolefins.
• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Used as an opacifying agent, texture enhancer, and stabilizer in creams, lotions, and makeup products.
• Paints & Coatings: Acts as a flatting agent and dispersant to control gloss and improve pigment suspension.
• Pharmaceuticals: Employed as a tablet lubricant and glidant in solid dosage form manufacturing.
• Food Industry: Serves as an anti-caking agent and release agent (where compliant with relevant food-grade specifications).
• Rubber Industry: Used as a processing aid and mold release agent.
• Textile & Paper: Functions as a waterproofing agent and softener.
• Grease & Lubricant Formulation: Acts as a thickener and stabilizer in specialty grease products.

Quality Control

Our Calcium Myristate is produced under a stringent quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for purity, identity, and physical properties. We provide full traceability and support our products with Certificates of Analysis (COA) upon request, confirming compliance with agreed parameters. Specifications can be tailored to meet industrial, cosmetic, or food-grade standards as required.

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). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect flow properties and performance.
