Pratham Stearchem Calcium Stearate is an insoluble salt of Calcium, and Fatty Acids. Calcium stearate is non-toxic and has many applications as Stabilizer, Lubricant, Water Repellant etc. It is insoluble in water. However, it is slightly soluble when dissolved in hot alcohol, hot vegetable and mineral oil. It shows good solublity in hot pyridine. Calcium Stearate is widely used as a stabilizer for PVC resins and lubricant for plastic molding powders or tablets. Its use is also recommended in emulsions, cements, pencils, construction chemicals, paint flattening agent, resin coated sands and foundry chemicals, anticaking agent in food items and cosmetics. Use of calcium stearate is seen as a lubricating agent in paper and paperboard coating compositions, iron wire drawing and leather cloth manufacturing as well. At Pratham, we have developed various grades of Calcium Stearates to suit different applications.
