Zinc Stearate SW-100 Powder

Zinc Stearate SW-100 Powder by Baerlocher is medium bulk density, fine white powder produced from a high quality tallow derived fatty acid for applications requiring medium density processing aid, with good flow and blending characteristics, including thermoset resins, polyolefins, powdered metal. Provides acid catalyst neutralization for polyolefins and very good lubrication and mold release properties in other thermoplastic applications. Consistent physical properties and medium density provides very good blending and dispersion properties with a large variety of materials. Relatively large particle size and medium density contributes minimally to initial viscosity in SMC mixes, allowing for good glass wet out, while providing good lubrication and surface quality in the molding process. Engineered particle size enhances blending properties with powdered metal and imparts consistent porosity for fabrication of self-lubricating components. Ensures consistent quality in chemical and mechanical properties. Approved by FDA under regulations CFR21 for indirect food contact applications.
