Petrac® Stearic Acid F-300 Prill

Product information

Product Name
Petrac® Stearic Acid F-300 Prill
Description

Petrac® Stearic Acid F-300 Prill is used to manufacture metallic stearates, esters and other derivatives where a high quality, light colored stearic acid is required. It acts as an external lubricant and viscosity depressant in PVC processing. It is made through a prilling process to achieve a form which flows easily.

Petrac® Stearic Acid F-300 Prill is recommended as an activator, dispersing agent, plasticizer and lubricant in rubber compounding. It is also a thickening and gelling agent for greases in combination with alkali/alkaline earth metal hydroxides
