Product information

Product Name
Synpro® Calcium Stearate Veg HD Gran
Description

Synpro® Calcium Stearate Veg HD granular is manufactured for those applications demanding a superior quality, clear melting grade of calcium stearate produced from high quality, certified food grade vegetable derived stearic acid. The polyolefin industry, in particular, is characterized by such applications. By use of Synpro® Calcium Stearate Veg HD Granular, build-up on extruder screen packs is minimized, resulting in longer runs and reduced down time.

Synpro® Calcium Stearate Veg HD Granular may be safely used as stabilizers in polymers used in the manufacture of components intended for holding food; according to the Food and Drug Administration’s Code of Federal Regulations under Title 21, Parts 177.2600 and 178.2010.
