Description

Fatty Acids, Tallow, Hydrogenated, Zinc Salts is a metallic soap derived from fully hydrogenated tallow fatty acids. This compound serves as a versatile and effective lubricant, release agent, and stabilizer in demanding polymer processing applications. It is essential for manufacturers in the plastics, rubber, and coatings industries seeking to improve product flow, prevent sticking, and enhance thermal stability.

Application

• Polymer Processing Aid: Acts as an internal and external lubricant in PVC, polyolefins, and engineering plastics to reduce melt viscosity and improve mold release.
• Rubber Industry: Used as a processing aid and activator in rubber compounding to facilitate mixing, extrusion, and calendering.
• Thermal Stabilizer: Functions as a costabilizer in PVC formulations, helping to scavenge hydrochloric acid and delay degradation during high-temperature processing.
• Coatings and Inks: Serves as a flatting and sanding agent, improving the matting and surface properties of various coating systems.
• Cosmetics and Personal Care: Utilized as an opacifying agent and texture modifier in stick formulations such as deodorants and lip balms.
• Adhesives and Sealants: Imparts thixotropic properties and acts as a filler treatment agent to improve dispersion and consistency.

Quality Control

Our Fatty Acids, Tallow, Hydrogenated, Zinc Salts is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous testing to ensure consistent performance as a lubricant and stabilizer. Key parameters such as zinc content, moisture, melting point, and acid value are monitored. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

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 and maintain product integrity. Keep away from strong acids and oxidizing agents.
