Description

Calcium Neodecanoate is a versatile metal carboxylate salt widely used as a highly effective stabilizer and catalyst in polymer processing. Its primary value lies in providing superior thermal stability and controlling reaction kinetics in various industrial formulations. This compound is essential for manufacturers in the plastics, coatings, and lubricant industries seeking to enhance product performance and longevity. Calcium Neodecanoate CAS NO 27253-33-4 is a key ingredient for producing heat-stabilized PVC and as a catalyst component in polyurethane and polyester resin systems.

Application

• PVC Heat Stabilizer: A primary application as a cost-effective and efficient thermal stabilizer in rigid and flexible polyvinyl chloride (PVC) compounds, including pipes, profiles, and cables.
• Polymerization Catalyst: Acts as a catalyst or co-catalyst in the production of polyesters, polyurethanes, and other condensation polymers.
• Paint and Coating Drier: Functions as a through-dry catalyst in alkyd resin-based paints, varnishes, and printing inks to accelerate the oxidation and cross-linking process.
• Lubricant and Grease Additive: Serves as a thickener and performance additive in calcium-based lubricating greases, providing structural stability and corrosion resistance.
• Adhesive and Sealant Formulation: Used as a curing agent or stabilizer in various adhesive and sealant systems to modify rheology and improve aging properties.
• Crosslinking Agent: Employed in silicone rubber and other elastomer systems to facilitate cross-linking reactions and enhance final material properties.

Quality Control

Our Calcium Neodecanoate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for metal content, acidity, and physical properties, guaranteeing consistent performance in your applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and must be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture and carbon dioxide, which can affect product performance.
