What is calcium stearate? Calcium stearate is a non-toxic white fine powder substance, a calcium salt separated from stearic acid. Insoluble in water, slightly soluble in hot ethanol and hot vegetable oil, and easily soluble in hot pyridine. Relative density of 1.08 and a melting point of 179℃. It has water absorption in the air. The strong acid is decomposed into stearic acid and the corresponding calcium salts. It is pure white to yellow, white loose powder, delicate, has no sand sense, and has a light special smell. In the air, there are hygroscopic properties. The melting point is 179℃, which is insoluble in water, ethanol and ether and slightly soluble in hot ethanol. It is commonly used as an anti-knot agent, binder, emulsifier, film agent, film agent, stabilizer and coagulant agent, thickening agent and fragrance agent. Calcium stearate can produce salts called soaps when certain fatty acids are heated together with alkaline substances. Stearic acid is one of the most widely used soap ingredients. Calcium stearate is a manufactured component produced by a heating reaction of stearic acid and calcium oxide. It is one of the most important calcium salts. Due to its lack of solubility, this salt is not often used in soap in modern society but is replaced with water-soluble synthetic substances.
Main uses of calcium stearate Calcium stearate can be used as a thermal stabilizer for polyvinyl chloride and a lubricant for a variety of plastic processes, mold discharging agent; In hard products, Combined with salt-based lead salt and lead soap can improve the gelation speed; Also used in food packaging, medical appliances and other requirements of non-toxic soft film and appliances; Also available as polyethylene, Halogen absorbers of polypropylene, To eliminate the adverse effects of the residual catalyst on the color and stability; As a plasticizer in rubber processing, Can soften the natural rubber and full rubber, Almost no effect on vulcanization; Also used as a lubricant for polyolefin fibers and die plastics, The thickening agent of the lubricating grease, Waterproofing agent for textiles, Flat-light agent of the paint, Plastic zers for making plastic records; As halogen absorbent in polyethylene and polypropylene, lubricant and release agent for phenolic, ammonia and other thermosetting plastics; thickening agent for grease; waterproof agent for waterproof fabric; paint smooth agent and pencil lead lubricant, etc.; Food-grade calcium stearate is used as an anti-knot agent; Calcium stearate is also used in pencil lead production and medicine, spice industry.
