TMet – ZSP is a Zinc Stearate designed as a context, soap is used in its formal sense, a metal salt of a fatty acid. It is a white solid that repels water. It is insoluble in polar solvents such as alcohol and ether but soluble in aromatic hydrocarbons (e.g., benzene) and chlorinated hydrocarbons when heated. It is the most powerful mold release agent among all metal soaps. It contains no electrolyte and has a hydrophobic effect. Its main application areas are the plastics and rubber industry, where it is used as a releasing agent and lubricant which can be easily incorporated.
Zinc Stearate made via the modified fusion process using high quality fatty acid and exhibits the following properties :- Excellent lubricity, Excellent water repellent, Good clarity and weathering stabilizer , Non toxicity, Non sulphide staining , Little initial color formation.
