)Calcium Stearate:

(A)Manufacturing Process:

Charge Water in vessel. Add Stearic Acid Then free stirring for 1 hrs. Hear the reaction mass 58 0C-
620C.Add calcium carbonate on regular intervals. After completion of addition maintain58 0C-620C for
3 hrs. Check pH 7-7.5. If reaction completed. Then cool it and unload in Nutch Filter. Then
centrifuge and drying and pulverise. Calcium Srearate packed in bag.ML will be reused in next batch.

(B)Chemical Reaction:

CaCO3 + 2C17 H35 COOH Ca (C 17 H35COO)2 + CO2 + H2O
