Barium Stearate PBAS 501 is a chemical compound obtained by the reaction of stearic acid and barium and is produced in the form of a white crystalline powder with a soft texture. This compound is known by the chemical formula Ba(C₁₈H₃₅O₂)₂ and is used in a wide range of industries due to its high thermal stability, resistance to light and oxidation, and effective lubricating performance.
Main Features of Barium Stearate PBAS 501
• Excellent thermal and optical stability
• Strong lubricating and anti-sticking properties
• Waterproof and moisture resistant
• White powder and insoluble in water
• Solubility in organic solvents after heating and forming a colloidal solution after cooling
When it comes into contact with hot and strong mineral acids, it decomposes into stearic acid and barium salts, which is a significant feature in some industrial applications.
Applications of Barium Stearate PBAS 501
• Thermal stabilizer in hard and soft PVC: Prevent thermal decomposition and increase product life
• Lubricant in extrusion and molding processes of plastics
• Light and heat stabilizer for plastics and rubbers
• Additive in the production of high-temperature resistant greases
• Mold release agent in engineering industries and industrial parts
• Additive in UV-resistant paints, inks and coatings
• Combination with zinc, cadmium and lead stearates to achieve a high stabilizing synergistic effect
Key advantages of PBAS 501 over other grades
• Optimized for high-temperature industrial formulations
• Long-term light and thermal stability
• Suitable for use in moisture-sensitive products and harsh environmental conditions
• Ability to be combined with a variety of other metal stearates for better performance
