Description

Calcium Isodecanoate is a versatile metal carboxylate salt widely utilized as a stabilizer and catalyst component in industrial polymer formulations. Its primary value lies in providing excellent thermal stability and process control, which are critical for maintaining product integrity during high-temperature manufacturing. This compound is essential for producers of PVC, polyolefins, and other specialty polymers seeking to enhance material performance and longevity. For precise identification, the CAS number is 85896-51-1.

Application

• Primary heat stabilizer and co-stabilizer in rigid and flexible Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) compounds.
• Catalyst component and acid scavenger in the production of polyolefins such as polyethylene and polypropylene.
• Lubricant and processing aid in various polymer extrusion and calendaring operations.
• Stabilizing agent for adhesives, sealants, and caulks to prevent degradation.
• Additive in greases and lubricant formulations to improve consistency and performance.
• Intermediate in the synthesis of other specialty metal soaps and chemical compounds.

Quality Control

Our Calcium Isodecanoate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistent composition, purity, and performance characteristics. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as metal content, acid value, and moisture are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic nature, the material must be stored in a cool, dry place with low humidity. Recommended storage temperature is between 15°C and 25°C. Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture.
