Description

Zinc Heptadecanoate is a metallic soap of heptadecanoic acid, a long-chain saturated fatty acid. This compound serves as a versatile intermediate and functional additive, valued for its hydrophobic properties and thermal stability. It is primarily utilized in the polymer, lubricant, and coatings industries as a stabilizer, release agent, or water-repellent component. For precise identification, the CAS number is provided separately in the table below.

Application

• As a heat stabilizer and lubricant in PVC and other polymer processing.
• Functioning as a water-repellent agent in surface treatments and protective coatings.
• Acting as a release agent in molding processes for plastics and rubber.
• Used as a thickening agent or gellant in grease and lubricant formulations.
• Serving as a catalyst component or precursor in organic synthesis.
• Potential use as a corrosion inhibitor in specialized additive packages.
