Description

Barium Dihexacosanoate is a metallic soap, specifically the barium salt of hexacosanoic acid (cerotic acid). This compound serves as a versatile functional additive and stabilizer in various industrial formulations, valued for its ability to modify rheological properties and enhance thermal stability. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the polymer, lubricant, and specialty chemical industries seeking to improve product performance and processing characteristics.

Application

• Polymer Additive: Acts as a heat stabilizer and lubricant in the processing of PVC and other halogenated polymers.
• Grease Thickener: Used as a component in the formulation of complex soap-based greases for high-temperature applications.
• Viscosity Modifier: Imparts specific rheological properties to paints, coatings, and printing inks.
• Water Repellent: Employed in coatings and construction materials to provide hydrophobic characteristics.
• Catalyst & Intermediate: Serves as a precursor or catalyst in specific organic synthesis reactions.
• Corrosion Inhibitor: Functions as an additive in protective oils and coatings to mitigate metal corrosion.

Quality Control

Our Barium Dihexacosanoate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure consistent purity, composition, and performance. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, moisture content, and heavy metal limits 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, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality.
