Applications of Metallic Stearates
Plastic Industry
It is used as Mould release agent Internal lubricant in production of Polyamides and Thermosetting plastics. It is used in manufacturing of Masterbatches
Paint Industry
Aluminium Stearate is used as a thickening andsuspending agent for preparation of enamels andlacquers to control viscosity and gloss. It improves water resistance,brushing andpenetration and as flattening agent.
Printing Inks
The high gelling properties of Alumium Stearate areused for thickening and suspension improvement. Zinc Stearate is used as Dulling agent.
PVC Compounding
It is used as stabilizers and internal and externallubricants.
Rubber Industry
It is used as dusting powder to preveni sticking of unvulcanised rubber sheets and as an additive toimprove flow and dispersion,
Grease And Lubricating Agent
Aluminium stearate has excellent orooerties oftransperancy, stringiness and water repellency. It acts as high temperature resistant and as Defoamingagent and also as Lubricating agent in paper andpaperboard coating composition.
