Description

CAS No. :300-92-5

Introducing our versatile Aluminum Stearate – a ground breaking solution meticulously crafted as a white, wax-like powder, often referred to as a metallic soap. This innovative formulation seamlessly dissolves in mineral spirits or hot oil, unveiling a world of possibilities in various applications.

In the realm of artistry, a mere 2% or less of this aluminum stearate added to oil paint works wonders, imparting a luxurious, buttery consistency. Bid farewell to pigment and oil separation, as our aluminum stearate not only harmonizes these elements but also significantly thickens varnishes. It’s more than just a substance; it’s a transformative agent that elevates the very texture of your artistic creations.

Beyond the canvas, our aluminum stearate steps into diverse industries, serving as a multi-functional player. Acting as a drier, thickener, emulsifier, and matting agent in paints and varnishes, it unleashes a spectrum of possibilities. While moderation is key, as excess amounts may result in soft, noncohesive films, the precision of our formulation ensures the perfect balance for optimal results.

But that’s not all – our aluminum stearate extends its prowess to waterproofing fabrics, ropes, paper, leather, concrete, and stucco. Its versatility knows no bounds, making it an indispensable ingredient in photographic emulsions, where precision and reliability are paramount.

Discover the transformative power of Aluminum Stearate – where innovation meets artistry, functionality meets versatility, and excellence knows no limits.
