Calcium stearate in resins and resinous polymers: part 2

Abstract

The second in a two‐part series, describes various applications of calcium stearate in resins and resinous polymers. Focuses in particular on its use in polypropylenes and stynenes (e.g. as a slip agent, a dispersing agent, a light stabilizer, or a nucleating agent) and in polyvinyl chlorides (e.g. as a pure‐proofing agent, to enhance ageing and heat resistance or as a non‐toxic stabilizer against acid, heat and light). Also considers the different applications of various stearate blends.
