Zinc Stearate - High-performance Mold Release Agent | Water-repellent, Improves Early Colour And Lubrication In Pvc Applications

With our large ethnically excellence, we are actively committed towards manufacturing and supplying a huge assortment of widely acclaimed and sought after Zinc Stearate from Delhi, India. Zinc stearate is a zinc soap that repels water. It is insoluble in polar solvents but soluble in aromatic hydrocarbons (e.g., benzene and chlorinated hydrocarbons) when heated. It is the most powerful mold release agent among all metal soaps. It contains no electrolyte and has a hydrophobic effect.

Zinc Stearate improves the early colour when used in PVC and additionally gives good lubricating action. When incorporated in PVC, Zinc Stearate is not used alone but principally combined with Calcium stabilizer. Care should be taken not to use too high a dosage of Zinc Stearate, although the early colour improves, the heat stability may decrease. The addition of an epoxy plasticiser will also assist in improving the heat stability.
