General description:
Chemical Formula: Zn(C18H35O2)2
Zinc Stearate is a fine, white, hydrophobic powder with a slight fatty acid odor. It is insoluble in water, alcohol, and ether, but disperses in aromatic hydrocarbons and chlorinated solvents when heated. Produced by reacting stearic acid with zinc oxide, it is classified as a zinc soap—an organic metal salt of a fatty acid.
Zinc stearate is widely used as a release agent, lubricant, and anti-caking agent across industries such as plastics, rubber, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and coatings. Its hydrophobic and non-stick properties make it ideal for improving processability, moisture resistance, and surface finish in various formulations. The zinc content may vary in technical grades based on specific application needs.
