The Product - Zinc Stearate

Zinc stearate is a "zinc soap" that is widely used in a number of industrial processes. We mostly follow the semi-wet production process which combines the characteristics of high purity, transparency, and good thermal stability. At the same time, it has been tested and used in the petrochemical industry to prove that the product quality indicators are equal to or better than similar imported products. It is an environmentally friendly heat stabilizer and lubricant for the processing of plastic raw materials, plastic masterbatches, engineering plastics, and rubber compounds.

Zinc Stearate Properties

• White fine powder.
• Melting point: 118-125°C.
• Relative density: 1.095.
• Insoluble in water, soluble in organic solvents such as hot ethanol, benzene, toluene, and turpentine.
• After heating and dissolving in an organic solvent, it becomes a jelly when cooled.
• Decomposes with strong acid.
• It has a fire hazard under dry conditions, with a spontaneous ignition point of 900°C, and a tendency to absorb moisture.

Uses Of Zinc Stearate

MLA Group, a leading Zinc Stearate manufacturers in the world, supplies premium quality Zinc stearate that is widely used in several industries such as the pharmaceutical industry, plastics, masterbatches, SMC/ BMC, rubber industry, cosmetics, Petrochemicals resin manufacturing, wood coating industry, etc.

The main uses of zinc stearate are :

As a non-toxic stabilizer for polyvinyl chloride

It can be used as a non-toxic stabilizer for polyvinyl chloride, with low initial coloration and good weather resistance. This product is not easy to use alone, because it has a significant catalytic effect on the degradation of polyvinyl chloride, and after a period of time, the product can change color rapidly. It has a synergistic stabilizing action with calcium stearate. With barium cadmium soap, it is used for general soft products.

As a lubricant

It is vastly used in the masterbatches and filler compounds industry as an internal lubricant, dispersing and release agent. It is also used as a lubricant for styrene resin, including polystyrene, ABS, and SAN resin, and a release agent for transparent products. In the rubber industry, this product can be used as a rubber lubricant and diaphragm agent (anti-sticking). In addition. It can also be used as a textile polishing agent, paint flattening agent, and cosmetic ingredients.

Metal soap powder.

Used in the creation of powder, pressed powder, etc. It is mainly used as an adhesive of fragrance powder to increase the adhesion of fragrance powder on the skin. Zinc stearate is light and soft, and when added to powder cosmetics, it covers the outside of other powders, making the powder easily permeable.

Other Uses

Anti-foaming agent. Light and heat stabilizer. Paint smoothing agent and abrasive. Drying lubricant and release agent for feet. Stabilizer, release agent, lubricant for plastic products. Waterproofing agent for concrete, brown asbestos, paper, and fabric. Used in cosmetics and ointments.

UNIFLOW range of zinc stearates has the following unique properties

• a Low moisture : As we use multi-stage dryer which nobody else in India is doing our product is always having less than 1% moisture.
• b Low FFA (free fatty matter) or FFA (free fatty acid): this is basically the unreacted stearic acid and should be less than 1.5%. In our DLI-TS grade it is lowest, less than 0.5%.
• c Clear Melt : Our melt is transparent and either white or light yellow in colour. If it is dark colour or non-transparent it shows adulteration or improper processing.
• d Heavy metals and iron: Our product is free from heavy metals. Normally other manufacturers do not have the technology to completely remover the heavy metals which come from the zinc or calcium salt (raw material). Our product has almost complete removal of such heavy metals and iron.
• e Electrolytes/Salt : As our products are washed very carefully on fully automatic filter presses, our salt contents are less than 0.5%.

Also our plant - reaction vessels, drying equipment etc. are all made of stainless steel SS316L, aluminium and polypropylene due to which there is no iron contamination in our stearates.

Bulk density also plays a role in many applications. We have a range of bulk densities, which also reflects finer particle size and porosity (higher absorption) in the product.
