Barium Stearate

Barium stearate is a barium salt of stearic acid, produced through the reaction of stearic acid with barium compounds. It appears as a fine white powder and is highly hydrophobic and insoluble in water. With its long-chain fatty structure combined with barium metal ions, barium stearate exhibits excellent heat resistance, lubrication, and stabilizing properties.

These characteristics make barium stearate particularly valuable in high-temperature industrial applications, especially in PVC processing, plastics, rubber, coatings, and specialty lubricants.

At Evergreen Chemical Company Thailand, we supply premium-grade barium stearate powder developed to meet the stringent requirements of industrial-grade formulations. Manufactured under strict quality control systems and compliant with international standards such as ISO and REACH, our barium stearate ensures consistent quality, reliable thermal stability, and dependable performance batch after batch.

Barium Stearate Properties and Features

1. Heat Stabilizer for PVC

Barium stearate is widely used as a heat stabilizer in PVC formulations. It helps prevent thermal degradation during high-temperature processing, improving color retention and extending the service life of PVC products. It is often used in combination with other metal stearates for optimized stabilization systems.

2. Lubricant & Processing Aid

As an internal and external lubricant, barium stearate reduces friction during extrusion, calendering, and molding processes. This improves melt flow, prevents sticking to processing equipment, and enhances surface finish of finished products.

3. Excellent Thermal Resistance

Barium stearate offers superior thermal stability compared to many other metal soaps, making it suitable for applications requiring sustained heat resistance during processing and end use.

4. Water Repellent & Hydrophobic Agent

Due to its hydrophobic nature, barium stearate provides effective water-repellent properties. It enhances moisture resistance in plastics, rubber, coatings, and other industrial formulations.

5. Anti-Sticking & Release Properties

Barium stearate acts as an effective release agent, preventing adhesion to molds and processing equipment. This contributes to smoother production cycles and reduced equipment downtime.

Barium Stearate Safety

Barium stearate should be handled with care and in accordance with standard industrial safety guidelines. While it is insoluble in water and generally stable under normal processing conditions, barium-containing compounds require controlled handling to minimize exposure.

At Evergreen Chemical, our premium-grade barium stearate is manufactured and supplied in compliance with international safety and regulatory standards such as ISO and REACH. Proper storage in a dry environment, adequate ventilation, and the use of appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) during handling and processing are recommended to ensure safety and product integrity.
