Product overview
Calcium Stearate is a mineral ingredient evaluated for anticaking, carrier, flow-control and selected fortification applications. It is commonly evaluated for Powder flow and anticaking, Tablet and powder processing, Polymer lubricant and acid scavenger. Supply for food, feed or healthcare use requires the appropriate grade, specification and destination-market compliance review.
Function & Usage
