Description

Calcium Pentadecanoate is the calcium salt of pentadecanoic acid, a saturated fatty acid. This specialty chemical serves as a versatile intermediate and functional additive in advanced material synthesis and industrial formulations. It is particularly valued in the production of stabilizers, lubricants, and specialty soaps. Key industries that utilize this compound include polymer manufacturing, personal care, and industrial lubricant development.

Application

• Polymer Additive: Acts as a heat stabilizer and lubricant in PVC and other polymer processing.
• Metalworking Fluids: Functions as a corrosion inhibitor and emulsifier in synthetic and semi-synthetic lubricants.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Used as an opacifying agent and texture modifier in creams, lotions, and soaps.
• Pharmaceutical Excipient: Serves as a tablet lubricant and release agent in solid dosage form manufacturing.
• Food-Grade Lubricants: Employed as a component in formulations requiring incidental food contact (H1) certification.
• Chemical Synthesis: Utilized as a precursor or catalyst in organic synthesis and esterification reactions.
• Paint & Coating Additive: Acts as a flatting agent and dispersant to modify gloss and improve pigment suspension.
• Textile Processing: Functions as a softener and water-repellent finish for fabrics.

Quality Control

Our Calcium Pentadecanoate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing key parameters such as assay, heavy metal content, and loss on drying. Specifications can be tailored to meet industrial, technical, or food-grade requirements upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality and flow properties.
