CA 58 (Calcium Stearate)

CA 58 (Calcium Stearate) is a white, finely powdered metal soap obtained by the reaction of stearic acid with calcium oxide or calcium salts. This water-insoluble substance, with a slight waxy odor, is widely used in the plastic, rubber, paint, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries due to its lubricant, mold release, and processing-enhancing properties. Its water-repellent properties also make it a preferred choice in formulations that require protection from moisture.
