Calcium Stearate

Calcium Stearate — three functions in one addition — direct from the line that makes it. A fine, white calcium salt of vegetable Stearic Acid — lubricant, anti-caking agent and stabiliser across pharma, food, cosmetics and polymers, from one of the few dedicated manufacturers worldwide.

What it is

Engineered, not off-the-shelf

Calcium Stearate is the calcium salt of Stearic Acid — a versatile, water-repellent metallic soap. In pharma it lubricates and prevents caking; in food it controls caking and aids release; in polymers it scavenges acid and lubricates. What varies between suppliers is bulk density, free fatty acid and fineness — the parameters that decide how it behaves in your blender, press or extruder. Most of the market is served by traders re-packing material they didn't make. We are a dedicated manufacturer — a genuine rarity for this product.

Dual-role economics

Calcium Stearate lubricates and prevents caking in a single addition — fewer ingredients to source, qualify and reconcile, and one audited source across your pharma, food and polymer lines. It's also effervescent-ready: its water-repellent action helps protect effervescent tablets from premature reaction in the pack.

Key applications

Tablet manufacturing — lubricant & anti-adherent, reduces tooling wear
Toffee, candy & confectionery — release & lubrication for high-speed food lines
Food (E470a) — anti-caking & texture in supplements and powders
Cosmetics — smooth application, caking control, emulsion stability
Polymer & industrial — acid scavenger, lubricant, mould-release; proven PVC co-stabiliser
