What Is Calcium Stearate?
Calcium stearate is a calcium salt of stearic acid with the chemical formula Ca(C₁₈H₃₅O₂)₂. It is commonly available as a white, waxy powder and is practically insoluble in water.
It is used as a lubricant, release agent, and processing additive in various industrial formulations.
Key Properties of Calcium Stearate
Lubricating Properties: Reduces friction and supports smooth processing.
Water-Repellent: Helps reduce moisture absorption in suitable applications.
Anti-Caking: Improves powder flow and material handling.
Mould Release: Helps products separate easily from moulds.
