Hystrene 5016 Mixture of saturated fatty acids Crompton-Witco Release Agents Surfactants Surfactants >> Fatty Acids Rubber - Elastomer (Chloroprene, Butyl …) HYSTRENE 5016 Fatty Acid HYSTRENE5016 fatty acid is a high-purity mixture of saturated fatty acids with an approximate 50% palmitic acid content. Typical of the triple-pressed grade of stearic acid, this product has excellent color and a low iodine value, and it is ideal for applications requiring excellent heat and color stability. HYSTRENE 5016 fatty acid is available as a flake and a free-flowing powder. The properties of HYSTRENE 5016 fatty acid make it useful as a chemical intermediate (in the production of condensates, esters, and nitrogen-containing derivatives), an emulsifier, a gelling agent, a release agent, and a pigment dispersant. It is also used in abrasives, buffing compounds, cosmetics, cutting oils, lubricants, plastics, waxes, rubber compounding, and textile finishes. High-purity mixture of saturated fatty acids. Used as a chemical intermediate, an emulsifier, a gelling agent, a release agent, and a pigment dispersant. Possesses very good color and a low iodine value. Provides very good heat, color, oxidative and thermal stability.
