Description

Calcium 3,5,5-Trimethylhexanoate is a versatile metal carboxylate salt derived from a branched-chain fatty acid. This compound serves as a highly effective and stable source of calcium ions for a wide range of industrial synthesis and formulation processes. It is particularly valued in the production of specialty polymers, as a catalyst component, and in the synthesis of high-performance lubricant additives. Industries including polymer manufacturing, petrochemicals, and specialty chemicals rely on its consistent performance and purity.

Application

• Polymerization Catalyst & Stabilizer: Acts as a co-catalyst or thermal stabilizer in the production of polyolefins and other polymers.
• Lubricant & Grease Additive: Used in the formulation of high-temperature lubricants and complex grease thickeners to enhance performance and stability.
• PVC Heat Stabilizer: Functions as a cost-effective and efficient heat stabilizer in flexible and rigid polyvinyl chloride (PVC) formulations.
• Crosslinking Agent: Employed in silicone rubber and other elastomer systems to facilitate crosslinking and improve final product properties.
• Drier for Paints & Inks: Serves as a through-drying agent in alkyd resin-based coatings, printing inks, and varnishes.
• Chemical Intermediate: Used as a precursor in organic synthesis for pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals.
• Fuel & Oil Additive: Functions as a detergent and dispersant additive in engine oils and fuels to prevent deposit formation.

Quality Control

Our Calcium 3,5,5-Trimethylhexanoate is manufactured under a strict quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and reliability. Quality is verified through a comprehensive suite of analytical tests including assay, metal content analysis, and impurity profiling. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, physical properties, and conformance to agreed specifications is provided with every shipment. We support customer audits and can provide material to meet specific regulatory or internal quality standards upon request.

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