Synpro® Calcium Stearate 15F GL

Product information

Product Name
Synpro® Calcium Stearate 15F GL
Description

Synpro® CALCIUM STEARATE 15F GL is a high ash, free flowing granular (nondusting), multifunctional (external / internal) lubricant and fusion promoter for rigid PVC and Phenolics. Due to additional processing of raw materials, high surface quality (window profiles, siding, decking, profile extrusions, etc.) can be anticipated.

Through controlled engineering and chemical processes Synpro® CALCIUM STEARATE 15F GL can be readily airveyed, virtually eliminating dusting problems to the operator and surrounding environment. Its dense flow-able properties enable optimum processing with automated weigh systems and dispersion mixing.

Synpro® CALCIUM STEARATE 15F GL is listed in NSF / ANSI International Standard 14 – Plastics Piping System Components and Related Materials. Additionally it is suitable for use in food packaging applications in accordance with many FDA Code of Regulations; an updated complete list is available upon request.
