Description

Calcium Acetylacetonate is a coordination compound where calcium is chelated by two acetylacetonate anions. This white to off-white powder serves as a versatile and thermally stable source of calcium in numerous high-performance applications. It is a critical material for manufacturers in the polymer, catalyst, and advanced materials sectors seeking to enhance product properties and process efficiency. Its utility spans from acting as a cross-linking agent to serving as a precursor for inorganic thin films.

Application

• Polymer Additive & Cross-linking Agent: Used to modify and stabilize polymers, including PVC, improving thermal properties and acting as a co-stabilizer or cross-linker.
• Catalyst Precursor: Serves as a key component in Ziegler-Natta and other coordination catalyst systems for olefin polymerization.
• Thin Film Deposition (CVD/ALD): A volatile precursor in Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) and Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) processes for creating calcium-containing oxide films.
• Fuel & Lubricant Additive: Functions as a combustion improver and anti-wear agent in specialized fuels and high-temperature lubricants.
• Ceramic & Glass Modification: Used in the synthesis of advanced ceramics and to modify the properties of specialty glasses.
• Textile Treatment: Imparts flame-retardant or water-repellent characteristics to fabrics.
