Description

Calcium Ditricosanoate is a high-purity metallic soap derived from tricosanoic acid. This compound serves as a highly effective and versatile functional additive, primarily valued for its role as a lubricant and stabilizer in polymer processing. It is essential for manufacturers in the plastics, coatings, and specialty chemical industries seeking to enhance product performance and processing efficiency. Our supply ensures consistent quality and reliable material characteristics for demanding industrial applications.

Application

• As a high-performance internal and external lubricant in PVC, polyolefins, and engineering plastics processing.
• Acts as a stabilizer and acid scavenger in polymer formulations to improve thermal stability.
• Used as a flow promoter and release agent in the production of plastic films, sheets, and molded articles.
• Functions as a water-repellent and hydrophobic agent in coatings and surface treatments.
• Employed as a thickening/gelling agent and rheology modifier in greases and specialty lubricants.
• Serves as a matting agent and texture modifier in paints and powder coatings.
• Potential use as a component in catalyst systems and as a processing aid in rubber compounding.

Quality Control

Our Calcium Ditricosanoate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for purity, metal content, and physical properties. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters are provided with every shipment. We adhere to relevant industrial quality standards to guarantee batch-to-batch consistency and performance reliability for our global customers.

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 product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect flow properties and performance.
