Zinc Stearate Market Segment Analysis – By Application

Lubricants has been the primary market for zinc stearate. Zinc stearate is used as a lubricant, thickener, and to hold together the liquid and oily elements in cosmetics. Zinc stearate is mixed as a lubricant additive together with the metal powder. The proportion of lubricants varies from 0.5% to 5.0% by weight. In the compacting phase in the press, the lubricants improve flow and compressibility characteristics; the binders have the opposite effect. The different amount of the two additives influences the porosity and final properties of the material. Zinc stearate has an advantage over other lubricants as it provides zinc for the alloy which is beneficial in certain processes.
