CALCIUM STEARATE - Ca (C18H35O2)2
Calcium stearate is a white, waxy powder that is insoluble in water and soluble in organic solvents. It acts as an effective lubricant, reducing friction and improving the flow properties of materials. It is chemically inert, making it safe for use in food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic applications. Calcium stearate is also stable at high temperatures, making it a suitable stabilizer for use in processing industries. We source our raw materials ethically and responsibly from various vegetable and natural sources.
In India, we are the best and preferred suppliers of Calcium Stearate across various industries including plastics, rubber, food, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. In the plastics and rubber industries, it is used as a lubricant and release agent, improving the processing and mold release properties of materials. In the food industry, it serves as an anti-caking agent, preventing the formation of lumps in powdered products. In pharmaceuticals, it acts as a lubricant in tablet formulations, aiding in the ejection of tablets from the die. In cosmetics, it is used as an emollient and thickening agent, improving the texture and stability of products.
