Zinc Stearate for Coating and Painting
Physical and chemical properties
Molecular formula: Zn(C17H35COO)2
Molecular weight: 631
Descriptions
Zinc stearate is a multifaceted oleochemical substance, distinguished by its white, powdery appearance and broad industrial uses. At Junchuang, we exclusively produce it from plant-derived stearic acid and zinc salts. Nontoxic and easily absorbing moisture in the air, this substance does not dissolve in water or ethanol.
Characteristics
1) Good transparency, which can keep a better transparency of the coating.
2) Good fineness, dispersion, and anti-sinking properties.
3) Unique drying and synergetic extinction effect.
4) Unique fineness level design and remarkable grinding-aid effect.
Applications
· High-Grade PU and PE Paints for Wood Paints
A key additive for high-quality polyurethane (PU) and polyethylene (PE) wood paints is zinc stearate. It helps with flow, gives a smooth finish, and makes it easier to apply even coatings on wood surfaces.
· Upscale Piano Coatings
Zinc stearate improves the quality of the finish and makes it resistant to damage, while also making it shiny, all of which benefits high-end piano coatings. Provided excellent dispersion and lubricating properties guarantee smooth application and reliable surface protection.
· NC Paints and High-Grade Inks
NC paints and high-quality inks contain zinc stearate as an ingredient. Zinc stearate helps with good mixing, better stability, and improved performance. It delivers brilliant colors and an even high-quality finish.
· Pencil Lead Manufacturing
Zinc stearate is an important part of pencil lead. It works as a dispersant and a lubricant. This helps mix materials easily and improves product performance. It increases the quality of the lead making writing smooth and the lead long-lasting.
