(Calcium Stearate Emulsion)
A calcium stearate emulsion is a kind of lubricant which is made from a chemical called stearic acid. It is used in many different applications. The lubricant is generally used to increase the surface sheen and improve the properties of the coatings.
Calcium stearate is an inorganic compound that can be soluble in toluene, ethanol, and hot water. It is an important lubricant, defoamer, and release agent.
Calcium stearate has a number of applications, including construction, food, and personal care. Some of its primary uses include a decaking agent in food, an anti-adherent agent in plastics, and an acid neutralizer in plastics.
As a lubricant, calcium stearate has a low viscosity. This makes it a good choice as an anti-tack agent for paper, rubber, and concrete.
Calcium stearate is also a very stable lubricant at high temperatures. In fact, it has been found to prevent powder loss during supercalendering. Calcium stearate also serves as an effective thickening agent for a variety of processes. For example, it is a common agent used in PVC resins.
Typical calcium stearate dispersion is made from a mixture of stearic acid and calcium oxide. It has a fine white powder that is easily dissolved in water. These compounds are commonly used in the production of pharmaceuticals, snack foods, and paper.
Calcium stearate is widely used in the manufacturing of plastics, cement, and food products. It is a very versatile material, and can be used in a wide range of plastic-processing applications.
