This substance includes a ring in the bathtub and leaves an unpleasant layer on washed hair and skin.
Application of calcium stearate lotion
Waterborne coating: Its primary function is to maximize the smoothness and fluidity of the wet coating surface by reducing interfacial tension, making it easy to flow and spread on paper, improving the coating adaptability of the coating, improving the coating surface by giving a certain degree of plasticity and slippage to the dry layer, achieving better calendering adaptability, and improving the performance of the finished coating by reducing or eliminating fuzzing and powder loss. Paper industry: As a lubricant for the coating layer of paper, it can improve the lubricity and hydrophobicity of the coating surface, enhance the lubrication and smoothness of the coating, make the form smooth and smooth, and prevent cracking after drying. Printing industry: Super calendars and cutting and printing processes can avoid powder and hair loss, thereby improving paper's appearance and printing performance. Rubber industry: As a plasticizer in rubber processing, it can soften natural and complete rubber with almost no impact on vulcanization. It can also be used as a rubber isolating and mold release agent.
