Zinc Stearate is a fine, white, hydrophobic powder. It is a metal soap prepared from the zinc salt of stearic acid. It is a chemical compound that is widely used in various industries. It is insoluble in water and alcohol but disperses in organic solvents when heated. It acts as a lubricant, release agent, and water repellent, which makes it crucially multifunctional and addictive across numerous manufacturing sectors.
Unlike other stearates, it also acts as an activator in rubber compounding and provides unique clarity and transparency in certain plastic applications. Zinc Stearate has a versatility and safety profile. As it is non-toxic and approved for specific cosmetic uses, it has cemented its role as an indispensable processing aid in modern industry.

At ALA Polystabs Private Limited, we manufacture and supply multiple grades of Zinc Stearate. We want to meet the requirements of diverse industries by providing multiple grades. Customers get their desired performance according to their application needs. Let’s explore our grades.
Zinc Stearate, manufactured by Ala Polystabs Private Ltd, is highly versatile. It is highly used in various industrial sectors, from plastic to pharmaceutical. Our high purity Zinc Stearate is used to improve product quality, performance, or increase production efficiency. Let’s know about the wide application usage of Zinc Stearate across industries-
Zinc Stearate is highly used in the plastic and polymer industry. It acts as an excellent lubricant, mold release agent, and processing aid. It prevents sticking in mold, prevents oxidation, reduces friction, and improves smooth surface finish for plastic and polymer processing.
In the rubber sector, Zinc Stearate acts as a crucial activator, lubricant, release agent, and processing aid. It prevents sticking to mould, improves the efficiency of the curing process, enhances tensile strength, elasticity, and acts as an activator in sulphur vulcanization.
Zinc Stearate is widely used in paint, coating, and ink as a matting and dispersing agent. It acts as a sanding aid in wood primers and provides a non-clogging surface. In paints, it acts as a flatting agent to reduce gloss and improve pigment suspension.
In the cosmetic and personal care industry, it acts as a bulking, lubricant, and anti-caking agent. It is used in products like face powder, eyeshadow, blusher, etc. It enhances texture, gives a silky smooth feel, and aids in product application.
Due to hydrophobic addictiveness, Zinc Stearate is highly used in the construction sector. It improves water absorption, reduces moisture, increases frost resistance, waterproofing, and improves durability.
In pharmaceutical and other Specialized industries, it acts as a tablet and capsule lubricant and glidant. It prevents sticking to the equipment. It is also used in special applications like crayons, pencil leads, and various industrial processes.

Zinc Stearate is a white fine powder and a metal soap that is prepared from stearic acid and zinc. It is characterised by extremely low bulk density and a fluffy, lightweight texture. I act as a lubricant, release agent, anti-caking agent, and processingaids in wide industrial sectors.
Zinc Stearate is primarily used as a mold release agent, lubricant, stabilizer, texturizer, binder, and tablet lubricant. Its uses vary in different industrial applications.
Yes, Zinc Stearate is safer to use in cosmetics. It is highly used in cosmetic products like compact powder, blusher, etc. Using Zinc Stearate in cosmetic products improves texture, desperation and skin feel.
Zinc Stearate and Calcium Stearate are both metallic stearates. Both are used as a lubricant and releasing agent, but they are different in chemical composition and give a differentperformancese. Zinc Stearate has a lower melting point. Whereas calcium Stearate has a higher melting point. That is why they are used in different types of applications differently.
Zinc Stearate is widely used in rubber manufacturing because of its vulcanisation. It acts as an activator. It works with stearic acid to solubilise and deliver zinc to the curing system, making the sulfur vulcanisation process more efficient and improving the rubber's physical properties.
Zinc Stearate has a hydrophobic chemical structure, which makes it hydrophobic in nature. Its hydrophobic chemical structure repels water and makes it useful in moisture-sensitive applications.
Avoid inhaling fine Zinc Stearate powder. That is why to use it, we suggest using it in a well-ventilated place and make sure to cover your nose and mouth.
We have a standard size of 25 KG. If you want a customised option, you should contact our sales team. They will help you to know it.
