Features & Benefits
- Product Features
- Key Features
Zinc Stearate GPSF-VEG 5896 is produced from a very high quality vegetable derived fatty acid for applications where a very fine powdered processing aid is required, such as rubber dusting, in coatings, pigment dispersion or mold release for thermoplastic and thermoset resins.
- Product Performance
- The very fine particle size provides excellent lubrication and mold release properties in expandable polystyrene and other resin molding applications and excellent and surface quality in thermosets Provides very effective acid catalyst neutralization in polyolefins.
- Consistent physical properties provide good blending and dispersion properties with a large variety of materials. Relatively high surface area and very fine particle size provides exceptional coating power and excellent pigment dispersion properties.
