Overview
PALMAC® 55-16 is a triple pressed stearic acid from animal and vegetable fats. As an additive, stearic acid is versatile additive in a wide range of applications. The triple pressed processing ensures minimal impurities and a refined fatty acid profile. For plastic and rubber processors, PALMAC® 55-16 improves processing efficiency and surface finish as an internal and external lubricant additive by reducing friction between polymer chains and machinery. For masterbatch applications utilizing pigments and fillers, PALMAC® 55-16 helps with even dispersion for consistent surface finish. While offering exceptional consistency, clarity and performance for both industrial and consumer products.
