Calcium Stearate by Platinum Industries is a heat stabilizer for PVC. It is used as anti-caking agents in many other industries. It is used as internal lubricant in PVC formulations. It acts as co-stabilizer that increase the heat stability, revealing their effects through the formation of the calcium chloride salt, which is produced as a result of their reaction with HCl that is released from the thermal degradation of PVC structure. Calcium Stearate (Platinum Industries) is insoluble in most solvents.
