Applications
POLYOLEFIN
Our approved and widely used grades of Metallic stearates act as effective lubricants and mold release agents in the processing of polyolefins such as polyethylene and polypropylene. They improve the flow of the polymer during processing and prevent it from sticking to molds and equipment, thereby enhancing manufacturing efficiency.
PAINTS AND COATINGS
Some of our Metallic stearate grades act as effective anti-settling agents, thickeners, and anti-skinning agents in paints and coatings formulations. They improve the rheological properties of the coatings, prevent pigment settling, and inhibit skin formation during storage and application.
WIRES AND CABLES
In the wires and cables industry, our approved metallic stearate grades serve as internal and external lubricants during extrusion processes. They facilitate smooth processing of PVC and other polymers used for insulation and jacketing, improving the surface finish and reducing friction.
COSMETICS & PERSONAL CARE
Certain grades of our Metallic stearates find applications in cosmetics and personal care products as opacifiers, thickeners, and texture enhancers in formulations such as creams, lotions, and powders. They improve the spreadability, stability, and sensory properties of the products.
PHARMACEUTICALS
Only specific superior grades of Metallic stearates are used as lubricants and glidants in pharmaceutical tablet and capsule formulations to improve powder flow properties, prevent sticking to punches and dies, and facilitate tablet ejection from molds during manufacturing.
RUBBER
In the rubber industry, superior grades of our metallic stearates are used as processing aids, mold release agents, and anti-tack agents during the compounding and molding of rubber products. They facilitate demolding, improve surface finish, and prevent sticking to molds and equipment.
Food Processing
Our grades of metallic stearates are utilized as an emulsifier, anti-caking agent, binder, thickener, anti-foaming agent and lubricant in food applications. Our specialized grades ensure product integrity, quality, and consistency, meeting the highest standards of food safety.
Polymers
Our wide variety of approved Metallic Stearate grades function as additives in various polymer applications to improve processing characteristics, reduce friction, enhance dispersion of fillers and pigments, and impart anti-blocking properties to films and sheets.
Masterbatch
Metallic stearates are used as dispersing agents and lubricants in masterbatch formulations, aiding in the uniform dispersion of additives such as pigments, stabilizers, and flame retardants in polymer matrices.
BUILDING & Construction
In the construction industry, certain formulated high-quality grades of our metallic stearates are utilized as water repellents, anti-blocking agents, and release agents in concrete and mortar formulations. They improve workability, reduce adhesion to formwork, and enhance the surface finish of concrete products.
Animal Feed
Specific food grades of metallic stearates are added to animal feed formulations as flow agents and anti-caking agents to prevent the clumping of powdered ingredients and ensure uniform mixing. They improve handling and storage properties of feed pellets and granules.
Agricultural Chemicals
Our high-quality Metallic stearates serve as dispersing agents, wetting agents, and anti-foaming agents in agricultural chemical formulations such as pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides. They enhance the stability and efficacy of the active ingredients and improve coverage and adhesion on plant surfaces.
