Calcium Stearate is a widely used metallic soap that functions as both an internal/external lubricant and a mild heat stabilizer, commonly used alongside PVC stabilizer packages to neutralize trace hydrochloric acid released during processing.
It is non-toxic and food-contact friendly, which has made it a standard choice across a broad range of general-purpose polymer compounds.
Key Benefits
- Dual-action lubrication (internal and external)
- Acts as an acid scavenger / co-stabilizer in PVC
- Non-toxic, suitable for food-contact formulations
- Improves melt flow and mould release
- Cost-effective, broadly compatible additive
