Pentaerythritol Tetra Stearate is valued for its effectiveness as both a lubricant and mold release agent. By reducing friction during manufacturing, it prevents sticking and enhances the surface quality of finished plastic products. Its compatibility with a wide range of thermoplastics makes it a popular choice for manufacturers seeking efficient plastic processing solutions.
With a moisture content of 0.2% and heavy metals under 10 ppm, PETS meets strict quality guidelines. It is stable under recommended storage conditions and has a shelf life of up to 2 years from the production date. The product is classified as odorless and neutral in pH, adding to its safe handling profile in industrial environments.
FAQs of Pentaeythritol Tetra Stearate:
Q: How should Pentaerythritol Tetra Stearate be stored to maintain its shelf life?
A: Store PETS in a cool, dry environment, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keeping it packaged securely, such as in its original 25 kg bags or as specified by your supplier, ensures it remains stable for up to 2 years.
Q: What is the process for using PETS in plastic manufacturing?
A: PETS can be directly blended with thermoplastic resins before molding or extrusion. Its primary use is as a lubricant and mold release agent to prevent sticking and improve the surface finish during plastic processing, especially with materials like PVC and ABS.
Q: When should PETS be added during the plastic production process?
A: PETS is typically incorporated during the initial compounding phase, before extrusion or molding. This allows the additive to disperse thoroughly, optimizing its lubrication and mold release functions.
Q: Where can I source Pentaerythritol Tetra Stearate in India?
A: You can purchase PETS from a wide range of suppliers, including distributors, exporters, importers, manufacturers, retailers, traders, and wholesalers across India.
Q: What are the main benefits of using PETS in plastic processing?
A: PETS offers enhanced lubrication, excellent mold release properties, compatibility with most thermoplastics, and contributes to a superior surface finish. Its stability and low impurity levels ensure consistent, high-quality production.
Q: Is PETS compatible with all thermoplastics?
A: PETS is compatible with most common thermoplastics, including PVC, ABS, and engineering plastics, making it versatile for various industrial applications.
Q: What are the packaging options for PETS and can they be customized?
A: The standard packaging for PETS is a 25 kg bag; however, packaging can be tailored to customer specifications upon request.
