Aluminum Stearate
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Aluminum Stearate is a high-quality metallic soap designed for thickening, waterproofing, and stabilizing industrial formulations. This Industrial Grade powder is recognized for its ability to form stable gels when dispersed in non-polar solvents and oils.
It serves as a powerful hydrophobic agent, providing long-lasting water repellency to masonry, cement, and textile products. Its fine particle size and high surface area ensure easy incorporation into coatings and lubricating greases.
Our product is processed to maintain a consistent metal content, which is critical for achieving predictable viscosity and leveling in paints. It is chemically inert and offers excellent heat stability, making it suitable for high-temperature manufacturing.
APPLICATIONS
- Paint Additive: Acts as a thickening and anti-settling agent in solvent-based paints to improve pigment suspension and brushability.
- Lubricating Greases: Functions as a gelling agent to produce greases with high dropping points and water resistance for heavy machinery.
- Waterproofing: Applied in the construction industry as a water-repellent additive for mortars, plasters, and concrete structures.
SAFETY & RISKS
Generally considered a Non-hazardous powder; however, avoid breathing dust. Use dust masks and safety goggles during handling to prevent mechanical irritation of the eyes and lungs.
