Description

Hydrocarbon Waxes (Petroleum), Oxidized, Me Esters, Barium Salts is a specialized organometallic compound derived from oxidized petroleum waxes, where the carboxylic acid groups are esterified with methanol and subsequently neutralized with barium. This product matters as a high-performance, multifunctional additive that provides critical properties like thermal stability, water repellency, and improved rheological control in complex formulations. It is essential for manufacturers in the coatings, plastics, and lubricant industries seeking to enhance product durability and processing characteristics.

Application

• As a viscosity modifier and gelling agent in greases and high-temperature lubricants.
• Functioning as a waterproofing and hydrophobic agent in protective coatings and paints.
• Acting as a stabilizer and acid scavenger in PVC and other halogenated polymer systems.
• Used as a processing aid and release agent in plastic and rubber compounding.
• Serving as a thickening and suspending agent in paste formulations and sealants.
• Employed in the production of polishes and carbon paper for its gloss-enhancing and transfer properties.
