FAQ

Q1:

What is the recommended dosage of Zinc Stearate Powder in plastic applications?

Re: The recommended dosage of Zinc Stearate Powder in plastic applications varies depending on the type of plastic and the desired effect. Typically, a dosage of 0.5% to 2% by weight of the plastic is sufficient to achieve the desired lubricating and processing aid effects.

Q2:

Is Zinc Stearate Powder safe to use in food packaging materials?

Re: Yes, Zinc Stearate Powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in food packaging materials. It does not migrate into food products and is suitable for contact with food.

Q3:

Can Zinc Stearate Powder be used in water-based systems?

Re: Zinc Stearate Powder is not soluble in water and therefore not suitable for use in water-based systems. It is primarily designed for use in organic solvents or non-aqueous systems.

Q4:

How does Zinc Stearate Powder affect the mechanical properties of plastics?

Re: Zinc Stearate Powder can slightly reduce the mechanical properties of plastics, such as tensile strength and impact resistance. However, the reduction is usually minimal and can be compensated for by adjusting the formulation or processing parameters.

Q5:

What are the storage recommendations for Zinc Stearate Powder?

Re: Zinc Stearate Powder should be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. It should be kept in airtight containers to prevent oxidation and maintain its properties.
