Durostab Zinc Stearate is an organic compound that is commonly used as a lubricant and release agent in the production of polymers, plastics, and rubber products. It is a white, odorless, and water-insoluble powder that is formed from the reaction of stearic acid and zinc oxide. Durostab Zinc Stearate also acts as a stabilizer and anti-blocking agent in packaging films and coatings. Zinc stearate is recognized as safe by the FDA and has a wide range of industrial and consumer applications. Zinc stearate enhances the flow and dispersion of pigments and fillers in masterbatch production, improves the processing of thermoplastics and thermosets, and enhances mold release in rubber and silicone processing.
