Calcium stearate
Calcium Stearate is a metallic stearate salt, appearing as a fine, white, hydrophobic powder. It is produced through the reaction of stearic acid (a fatty acid derived from natural oils and fats) with calcium oxide or calcium hydroxide. It functions primarily as an acid scavenger, lubricant, release agent, and stabilizer across multiple industrial sectors. Its unique combination of water repellency, low solubility, and high melting point makes it an essential processing additive in plastics, rubber, construction, and paper industries. Technical grade Calcium Stearate is manufactured for industrial performance applications and is not intended for direct food, pharmaceutical, or cosmetic use unless specifically certified and labeled for those applications.
Chlorinated Paraffin
Chlorinated paraffins are complex mixtures of polychlorinated n-alkanes produced by reacting chlorine gas with unbranched paraffin fractions derived from petroleum distillation. They appear as colorless or yellowish viscous liquids or solids depending on chain length and chlorine content. Chlorinated paraffins are classified based on carbon chain length into short-chain, medium-chain, and long-chain varieties. Technical grade chlorinated paraffins are manufactured for industrial applications including plasticizers, flame retardants, metalworking additives, and surface coatings. They exhibit excellent compatibility with polymers, high thermal stability, water resistance, and chemical resistance.
Linseed Oil Alkali Refined
Linseed Oil Alkali Refined is a vegetable oil extracted from flax seeds and then refined using alkali treatment to remove impurities, free fatty acids, and gums. This refining process enhances the oil’s stability, color, and odor, making it suitable for industrial, artistic, and manufacturing uses. It is a drying oil known for its excellent film-forming properties, quick drying time, and good adhesion to surfaces. Alkali refined linseed oil is widely used in paints, varnishes, inks, and as a raw material in chemical industries.
Linseed Oil Raw
Linseed Oil Raw is the unrefined, natural oil extracted from flax seeds through cold pressing or solvent extraction. It contains natural impurities such as gums, waxes, and free fatty acids, giving it a darker color and stronger odor compared to refined oils. Raw linseed oil is a drying oil known for its excellent film-forming and adhesive properties. It is widely used in traditional wood finishing, oil painting, and industrial applications where natural and slow-drying oil is preferred.
Long Oil
Long Oil refers to oils with a high content of unsaturated fatty acids, particularly linoleic and linolenic acids, commonly derived from drying oils such as linseed, soybean, or safflower oil. These oils have extended drying times and are used in various industrial applications where slow curing and flexible film formation are desired. Long oil is a key component in producing long oil alkyd resins, which are widely used in coatings, paints, varnishes, and printing inks due to their excellent adhesion, flexibility, and durability.
