Key Features

Zinc Stearate RSN VEG is produced from a very high quality vegetable derived fatty acid for applications requiring a free flowing, low dusting additive with excellent handling and feeding characteristics. The product’s outstanding heat stability sets industry standards for use in polystyrene, polyolefins, and other clear polymers.

Product Performance
  • Low impurity levels and excellent heat stability prevent haze and discoloration in polyolefins film and clear thermoplastics. Provides acid catalyst neutralization for polyolefins and excellent lubrication and mold release properties in a variety of thermoplastic applications.
  • High apparent density and relatively large average particle size helps minimize dust exposure and housekeeping problems in the work environment. The free-flowing nature prevents problems with bridging and caking while facilitating use in virtually any type of bulk handling or conveying and automated weighing and metering systems.
