Blachford Calcium Stearate Coarse
- Chemical Name
- Calcium Stearate
Blachford Calcium Stearate Coarse is a metallic stearate powder formed from a fusion reaction (calcium hydroxide + fatty acid), suitable for use in animal feed applications and are SFSF and FSMA compliant (pending 2021). The Coarse grade is manufactured using tallow-derived stearic acid and is finished differently in order to produce a more granular, lower-dusting product.
