Description

Barium Tetracosanoate is the barium salt of tetracosanoic acid (lignoceric acid). This compound serves as a specialized metal soap and is valued for its role as a high-temperature stabilizer and lubricant additive in polymer and grease formulations. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the plastics, lubricants, and specialty chemical industries seeking to enhance material performance under demanding conditions.

Application

• Polymer Stabilizer: Acts as a heat stabilizer and acid scavenger in polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and other halogenated polymer systems.
• Grease & Lubricant Additive: Functions as a thickener and performance additive in high-temperature, multi-purpose greases.
• Corrosion Inhibitor: Used in protective coatings and formulations to provide corrosion resistance on metal surfaces.
• Waterproofing Agent: Imparts hydrophobic properties to textiles, paper, and construction materials.
• Catalyst & Reagent: Employed as a catalyst precursor or reagent in specific organic synthesis and transesterification reactions.
• Research & Development: Serves as a standard or intermediate in chemical research and analytical laboratories.

Quality Control

Our Barium Tetracosanoate is manufactured under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistent purity and performance. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing assay, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your specifications and industry standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); containers must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality and handling properties.
