Barium Stearate
Barium Stearate
What is barium stearate?
Barium stearate is a metallic soap that is gotten from the action between stearic acid and barium dioxide; the chemical formulation is Ba(C₁₈H₃₅O₂)₂ which is a white powder that does not dissolve in the water
In the plastic industry, particularly in PVC (polyvinyl chloride), barium stearate was used as a quality additive that enhances the heat stability, and it's an internal lubricant that helps the plastic process efficiency.
🌟The key feature of Barium Stearate
✅ Enhancing the stability of PVC effectively
Helping to protect the deterioration of the polymer from the heat and UV light.
✅ Used as an internal lubricant
Decrease the friction in the reshaping process, enhancing the product's smoothness and preventing the mold from sticking.
✅ Moisture and chemical resistance
Not insulate in the water, not moisture absorbent, perfect for the product that requires durable and multi-environment.
✅ Perfect mixed with other stability systems
Can be combined with a calcium/zinc stabilizer for enhancing the all-round efficiency of the PVC stability system.
✅ colorless, odorless and no effect on the product clarity
Suitable for work that requires glossiness and beauty of the product surface.
🏭 The usage of Barium Stearate in the PVC industry
Barium Stearate was used in the additive substances in the hard and semi-flexible PVC, particularly in these industries:
• PVC (PVC Film / Sheet)
making the film smooth and non-stick to machinery and maintaining good clarity
• PVC pipes (PVC Hose & Tubing)
Increasing the heat stability and flexibility, helping the pipes not crack or break
• PVC (PVC Wire & Cable)
Protecting the deterioration of insulator when exposed to high temperatures and enhancing the durability for long-life uses
• Artificial leather and general flexible materials
Enhancing the product's smooth, and shaped

💬The frequently asked question (FAQ)
Q1: What is barium stearate? And how is it different from calcium stearate?
A: Barium stearate is a heat-stable substance and an internal lubricant in PVC. The highlight is its durability at high temperatures and its non-moisture absorption. But the calcium stearate is focusing on the external lubricant.
Q2: Barium Searate is used for what product?
A: Commonly used in PVC film, pipes, wire, artificial leather, and products that require high heat stability.
Q3: Is barium stearate safe?
A: It's safe when used in the industry under the appropriate determination but should be avoided for inhalation and direct touch.
Q4: How to store the barium stearate while keeping the quality?
A: Should be kept in a dry place, sealed tightly, and kept away from direct sunlight; the temperature should not be higher than 40°C
Q7: How can I request the TDS/MSDS documents for barium stearate?
