Calcium stearate is primarily used as an acid scavenger, release agent and lubricant in the plastics industry, for waterproofing in construction, and as an anticaking additive in pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. Is calcium stearate explosive?
ICSC 1506 – CALCIUM STEARATE. Combustible. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire. Finely dispersed particles form explosive mixtures in air. Stearic Acid is a waxy, colourless or white solid that exudes a mild odour. It is soluble in oil but only slightly dissolves in water, thus it floats. Calcium stearate is the most widely used organometallic compound in rigid PVC. It is the reacted product of an organic acid derived from fat or palm oil and calcium. All of the experts we spoke with agree that stearic Acid is a safe ingredient typically well-tolerated by any skin type. Ethylhexyl stearate is commonly used as an emollient to deliver skin-softening properties and a smooth after-feel. It acts as a lubricant on the skin's surface to help lock in moisture. Ethylhexyl stearate can also work as a solvent for other ingredients and improve the consistency of skin care products. P-4000 Calcium Stearate is used as a lubricant in the preparation of resin-coated sand for metal casting by the shell moulding technique. Zinc stearate is used in the rubber industry as a mould release between raw rubber sheets to prevent sticking. Calcium Stearate will react with the HCL, hydrolyzing the metal salt into calcium chloride and Fatty Acid. You need a co-solvent system with polar and non-polar features to dissolve calcium stearate. The ratio of the two is proportionate to the ratio of Ca to Stearate…or 10% MEK plus 90% Xylenes.
