Zinc Stearate 10-12%

Zinc Stearate 10–12% is a fine, white, hydrophobic powder composed of zinc salts of stearic acid, widely used as a lubricant, release agent, and anti-caking additive in various industrial and cosmetic applications. The “10–12%” typically refers to the zinc (Zn) content present in the compound. It has a soft, soapy texture and excellent water-repellent properties, making it highly effective in improving powder flow and preventing sticking during processing.

Zinc stearate is insoluble in water and alcohol but disperses well in organic systems, forming a lubricating film that reduces friction between particles and surfaces. It is commonly used in the plastics, rubber, paints, coatings, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals industries as a mold release agent, stabilizer, and processing aid. The material is chemically stable under normal conditions and exhibits good thermal stability, but it should be stored in a cool, dry place to maintain its free-flowing nature and prevent moisture absorp
