Description

Fatty Acids, C12-18, Barium Cadmium Salts CAS NO 70084-75-2 is a specialized metallic soap, or complex, formed from a blend of C12 to C18 fatty acids with barium and cadmium cations. This compound serves as a highly effective heat stabilizer and lubricant in polymer formulations, crucial for preventing thermal degradation during high-temperature processing. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the plastics and PVC industries seeking to enhance the durability and performance of their finished products.

Application

• Primary Heat Stabilizer for PVC: Used in flexible and semi-rigid polyvinyl chloride (PVC) compounds to prevent dehydrochlorination and discoloration during extrusion, calendering, and molding.
• Lubricant in Polymer Processing: Acts as an internal and external lubricant, improving flow properties and mold release in various plastic processing operations.
• Stabilizer for Wire and Cable Insulation: Imparts excellent long-term thermal stability to PVC used in electrical insulation and jacketing.
• Additive for Plastic Films and Sheets: Enhances the clarity and thermal processing window of calendered or extruded PVC films and sheets.
• Stabilizer-Lubricant for Profiles and Pipes: Used in formulations for PVC window profiles, pipes, and fittings to ensure surface quality and thermal stability.
• Synergistic Component in Stabilizer Systems: Often used in combination with other metal soaps (e.g., zinc, calcium) and organic co-stabilizers for superior performance.

Quality Control

Our Fatty Acids, C12-18, Barium Cadmium Salts are manufactured under strict quality protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and performance reliability in demanding polymer applications. Each lot undergoes rigorous testing for key parameters including metal content, melting range, acidity, and ash content. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting these results is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from strong acids and oxidizing agents. Due to the nature of metallic soaps, protect from excessive moisture to prevent caking.
