Description

Cadmium Dilaurate is a cadmium salt of lauric acid, a metal soap widely utilized as a heat stabilizer and lubricant in polymer processing. Its primary commercial value lies in its ability to prevent thermal degradation and improve the flow properties of various plastics during high-temperature manufacturing. This compound is particularly essential for industries requiring precise control over polymer stability and processing characteristics, such as PVC production and specialty plastic compounding.

Application

• Primary heat stabilizer for polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and other halogenated polymers.
• Internal lubricant to reduce melt viscosity and improve processing in plastic extrusion and molding.
• Component in stabilizer-lubricant packages for rigid and flexible PVC formulations.
• Used in the production of wires and cables to enhance thermal stability of the insulation.
• Additive for specialty plastics requiring long-term heat resistance.
• Processing aid in the manufacture of plastic sheets, films, and profiles.
