Technical Data: Calcium dodecyl Stearate

Production Method of Calcium Dodecyl Stearate：

Prepare raw materials

Calcium dodecyl stearate includes dodecyl stearic acid and calcium hydroxide or calcium carbonate. Among them, dodecyl stearic acid can be obtained by chemical synthesis, while calcium hydroxide or calcium carbonate can be purchased or prepared by themselves.

Synthetic reaction

The appropriate amount of dodecyl stearic acid is mixed with calcium hydroxide or calcium carbonate and reacts at a certain temperature for a certain time. In this process, dodecyl stearic acid will chemically react with calcium hydroxide or calcium carbonate to form the corresponding calcium salt.

Dry treatment

The purified calcium dodecyl stearate may contain a certain amount of water and need to be dried. Hot air drying, vacuum drying, and other methods can be used to remove water. It should be noted that the temperature and humidity should be controlled during the drying process to avoid product deterioration.

Crushing granulation

Dried calcium dodecyl stearate can be crushed or granulated to facilitate subsequent application. Can use the ball mill, sand mill, and other equipment for grinding; Granulator can also be used to make granular products. According to the actual needs, choose the appropriate crushing or granulation method.

Packaging and storage

Calcium dodecyl stearate that has passed the quality inspection can be packaged and stored. The use of packaging materials with good sealing performance, such as plastic bags, metal cans, etc., can effectively protect the product and extend its storage life. Storage environment should be kept dry, cool, well ventilated, avoid direct sunlight and humid environment.

Application of Calcium Dodecyl Stearate  :

Food industry

Calcium dodecyl stearate is widely used in the food industry, mainly as a food additive. In the production of cakes, candies, biscuits, and other foods, adding an appropriate amount of calcium dodecyl stearate can effectively prevent food stickiness, improve taste, and improve the stability of food. In addition, it can also be used as a thickening agent and anti-stick agent, which plays an important role in the production of instant noodles, frozen food, and other products.

The pharmaceutical industry

Calcium dodecyl stearate also has important applications in the pharmaceutical industry. At the same time, it can also improve the release and absorption of drugs and improve the efficacy of drugs. In the process of making drugs, adding the proper amount of calcium dodecyl stearate can effectively improve the stability and efficacy of drugs.

The cosmetics industry

Calcium dodecyl stearate is widely used in the cosmetics industry to make lotion, creams, and other skincare products. At the same time, it can also improve the elasticity and gloss of the skin, making the skin more youthful and energetic.

Plastics and rubber industry

Calcium dodecyl stearate is used as a plasticizer, lubricant, and anti-wear agent in the plastics and rubber industries. It can improve the toughness and wear resistance of plastics and rubber and extend their service life. At the same time, it can also improve the processing performance of plastics and rubber, making it easier to process and form.

Coating industry

Calcium dodecyl stearate is used as an additive and stabilizer in the coatings industry. It can improve the stability and weather resistance of the paint and prevent the deterioration and aging of the paint. At the same time, it can also improve the coating performance and leveling of the coating, making the coating film more smooth and uniform.

Textile printing and dyeing industry

Calcium dodecyl stearate is used as a softener and antistatic agent in textile printing and dyeing industry. It can improve the softness and comfort of textiles, improve the antistatic properties of textiles, and make them easier to process and use. At the same time, it can also improve the dyeing performance and washing fastness of textiles so that the printing and dyeing effect is more bright and lasting.
