STRUKTOL® Zinc Stearate
- STRUKTOL® Zinc Stearate is manufactured from a high quality technical grade stearic acid in a tightly controlled production operation that guarantees product uniformity. The result is a pure white color with consistent properties. Three forms are available - bead, pastille, and powder. Zinc stearate bead is a free-flowing spray-dried microbead. The pastille is lens-shaped and approximately 1/8 inch in diameter. The bead and pastille are relatively new product forms in the industry. They have the major advantage of being essentially dust-free during handling, in contrast to powder forms. In all other aspects, the properties are equivalent to the standard stearates being used in the plastic and rubber industries.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR APPLICATION
- STRUKTOL® Zinc Stearate is one of the most widely used additives in the plastics field. It serves primarily as a lubricant, but also as a densifying agent and a partitioning agent. It is used extensively in color concentrates as a dispersion aid. It is used to improve processing of the styrenics and polyesters, and to a lesser extent with the olefins. In rubber applications, it functions as an elastomer processing aid and release agent.
