Description

Fatty Acids, Rape-Oil, Zinc Salts is a metallic soap derived from rapeseed oil fatty acids. This compound is valued for its role as a versatile stabilizer, lubricant, and release agent in polymer processing and industrial formulations. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the plastics, rubber, and coatings industries seeking to enhance product performance and processing efficiency.

Application

• Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Stabilizer: Acts as a cost-effective and efficient heat stabilizer in flexible and rigid PVC formulations, preventing degradation during processing.
• Polymer Lubricant & Release Agent: Functions as an internal and external lubricant in plastics processing, improving flow properties and preventing sticking to metal surfaces.
• Rubber Industry: Used as an activator and processing aid in rubber compounding, aiding in dispersion and improving vulcanization.
• Coatings & Inks: Serves as a flatting agent and dispersant to improve pigment wetting and matting effects in surface coatings.
• Grease & Thickener: Employed as a component in the manufacture of certain lubricating greases and as a thickening agent.
• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Used in limited applications as an opacifying agent or viscosity modifier in stick formulations.

Quality Control

Our Fatty Acids, Rape-Oil, Zinc Salts is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure consistent performance as a polymer additive. Key parameters including zinc content, acid value, and melting range are verified. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting these results is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your specifications.

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). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent caking or performance degradation due to moisture absorption.
