Key Features
  • ZINC STEARATE GPSF-VEG CODE 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.
  • Relatively high surface area and very fine particle size provides exceptional coating power and excellent pigment dispersion properties.
