Features & Benefits

Materials Features
Key Features

Zinc Stearate SW is produced from a high quality tallow derived fatty acid for applications requiring fine particle size processing aid, lubricant or acid scavenger with good flow and blending characteristics, including thermoplastic and thermoset resin compounding, powdered metal and rubber compounding.

Product Performance
  • Consistent physical properties provide excellent blending and dispersion properties in color compounding and with a large variety of other materials.
  • Controlled particle size and density contributes to consistent initial and aged viscosities in thermoset molding compounds, allowing for filler wetting and providing excellent lubrication and surface quality in the molding process.
  • Engineered particle size provides rapid and uniform mixing and excellent lubrication properties with powdered metal and other inorganic materials. Provide acid catalyst neutralization for polyolefins and excellent lubrication and mold release properties in other thermoplastic applications.
