Description

Fatty Acids, C6-19-Branched, Calcium Salts are a versatile class of metallic soaps derived from branched-chain fatty acids. This compound serves as a highly effective and multifunctional additive, primarily valued for its role as a stabilizer, lubricant, and processing aid in polymer formulations. It is essential for manufacturers in the plastics, rubber, and coatings industries seeking to enhance product performance and processing efficiency.

Application

• Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Stabilizer: Acts as a cost-effective and efficient primary or co-stabilizer, providing excellent heat stability and early color retention during processing.
• Polymer Lubricant: Functions as an internal and external lubricant in PVC, polyolefins, and engineering plastics, reducing melt viscosity and improving mold release.
• Rubber Processing Aid: Enhances the dispersion of fillers and pigments in rubber compounds, improving processing flow and surface finish of the final product.
• Coatings and Inks Additive: Used as a flatting agent, anti-settling agent, and rheology modifier to control gloss and prevent pigment hard settling.
• Grease and Lubricant Thickener: Serves as a component in the formulation of complex calcium sulfonate greases, contributing to structure and stability.
• Adhesive and Sealant Modifier: Imparts thixotropic properties and improves the stability of filled adhesive systems.
