Description

Zinc Oleate is a metallic soap derived from oleic acid, serving as a versatile and effective chemical intermediate. Its primary value lies in its role as a hydrophobic lubricant, stabilizer, and water-repellent agent across multiple industrial sectors. This compound is essential for manufacturers in the plastics, rubber, coatings, and personal care industries seeking to improve product performance and processing characteristics.

Application

• Plastics & Rubber Processing: Acts as an internal and external lubricant and release agent, facilitating smooth molding and extrusion while preventing adhesion to metal surfaces.
• Coatings & Paints: Functions as a flatting and sanding agent, improving the matting effect and workability of surface coatings.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Used as a viscosity modifier, opacifier, and emulsion stabilizer in creams, lotions, and makeup formulations.
• Textile & Leather Treatment: Serves as a waterproofing agent and softener, imparting hydrophobic properties to fabrics and leather goods.
• Adhesives & Sealants: Employed as a tackifier and stabilizer to modify rheological properties and enhance product shelf life.
• Industrial Greases & Lubricants: Functions as a thickener and gelling agent in non-aqueous systems, providing structural stability.

Quality Control

Our Zinc Oleate is manufactured under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and reliability. The product is tested against established in-house specifications that monitor key parameters such as zinc content, moisture, and acid value. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment, detailing the results of these quality control tests to support your own quality assurance processes.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed when not in use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product performance.
