Zinc Stearate Powder

Description

Zinc Stearate is a fine, white, hydrophobic powder produced from zinc salts and stearic acid. It is widely used as a lubricant, mold release agent, and processing aid across plastics, rubber, cosmetics, paints, coatings, and pharmaceutical industries due to its excellent water-repellent, anti-caking, and slip properties. Zinc stearate offers superior lubrication and thermal stability compared to other metal stearates, helping improve flowability, reduce friction during processing, and enhance surface finish of finished products. Its non-toxic nature and chemical stability make it suitable for applications requiring consistent performance and safety compliance.
