Barium Stearate : Ba-St (C36H70BaO4)
Barium stearate is a white, hydrophobic powder known for excellent heat stability, lubrication, and water repellency, acting as a lubricant, release agent, and heat stabilizer in PVC, plastics, and rubber. Chemically, it’s the barium salt of stearic acid , insoluble in water but soluble in hot organic solvents, decomposing in strong acids into stearic acid. It improves product gloss, flow, and processing, but should be handled with care due to potential barium toxicity if ingested or inhaled.
At Evergreen Chemical Company Thailand, we supply high quality Barium stearate powder formulated to meet international standards. With decades of experience in the specialty of chemicals, Evergreen is known for delivering consistent, reliable, and application specific products. Our in house quality control and testing protocols ensure every batch meets strict purity, performance, and safety criteria making us a trusted partner for manufacturers across Asia and beyond.

- Machinery: High-temperature lubricant and anti-corrosion agent.
Barium Stearate Safety
Barium stearate is commonly used in industrial applications such as PVC stabilization, lubrication, and processing aids when handled under controlled conditions and in accordance with applicable regulations. It provides good heat stability, improved processing performance, and surface quality. However, as a barium-based compound, appropriate safety measures should be observed during handling. The use of suitable personal protective equipment (PPE), adequate ventilation, and proper storage in a dry and well-ventilated environment are recommended to minimize exposure and ensure safe use in industrial manufacturing processes.
