Applications
Description: COAD® 10 Calcium Stearate is a high grade calcium stearate developed for
the PVC processing industry. It has a low chloride content, low specific surface, and exhibits excellent heat stability properties for high temperature processing, and provides mold release properties critical for thermoplastics and thermoset molding. COAD® 10 Calcium Stearate meets the requirements of PPI-TR3 and NSF Standard 14 for potable water.

Rigid PVC Compounds: COAD® 10 Calcium Stearate acts as a dispersing aid during the
blending cycle, as a lubricant and processing aid during extrusion, and as a mold release agent for injection molding. It also improves stability by neutralizing acidic decomposition products in the polymerization of certain polyolefins.

Polyester Molding Compounds: COAD® 10 Calcium Stearate is an excellent mold release agent for matched metal die molding under certain conditions.

Rubber Compounding: COAD® 10 Calcium Stearate acts as an anti-sticking agent for rubber
slab where a dry powder is preferred. It is useful for applications with zinc discharge limitations.

Waterproofing: COAD® 10 Calcium Stearate may be employed in concrete and mortar admixtures to impart water repellency and to improve flow and release properties of the dry mix.
