Description

Barium Diicosanoate is a metallic soap derived from behenic acid, serving as a versatile and effective stabilizer and lubricant in polymer processing. Its primary value lies in its ability to function as a highly efficient heat stabilizer for polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and other halogenated polymers, preventing thermal degradation during high-temperature manufacturing. This compound is essential for manufacturers in the plastics, lubricant, and specialty chemical industries seeking to enhance the thermal stability and processing characteristics of their materials.

Application

• Primary Heat Stabilizer for PVC: Used in rigid and flexible PVC formulations, including pipes, profiles, cables, and films, to prevent dehydrochlorination and discoloration during processing and end-use.
• Lubricant and Processing Aid: Acts as an internal and external lubricant in plastic compounding, improving flow properties, reducing friction, and preventing sticking to metal surfaces.
• Synergistic Stabilizer Component: Often used in combination with other metal soaps (e.g., calcium, zinc) or organotin compounds to create cost-effective, high-performance stabilization systems with improved early color hold.
• Grease and Thickening Agent: Functions as a thickener and stabilizer in the production of high-temperature greases and specialty lubricants for industrial applications.
• Water Repellent and Corrosion Inhibitor: Imparts water-resistant properties and can act as a mild corrosion inhibitor in coatings and related formulations.

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 product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect performance. Keep away from strong acids and oxidizing agents.
