Technical Details & Test Data

Performance
  • The relatively fine and consistent particle size distribution of Zinc Laurate SW - US provides excellent dispersion properties in blending, compounding and extrusion equipment.
  • The basic nature and high metal content of Zinc Laurate SW - US makes it an effective acid scavenger and co-stabilizing component in solid mixed metal PVC stabilizers.
  • The fatty acid component in conjunction with the metal cation properties of Zinc Laurate SW - US allow it to function as a lubricant and rheology modifier in PVC processing.
  • The hydrophobic nature of Zinc Laurate SW - US combined with the fine particle size and relatively high surface area imparts excellent water repellency to concrete, mortar and other masonry and construction materials.
