? Zinc stearate , with CAS number of 557-05-1, can be called Dermarone ; Dibasic zinc stearate ; Hidorin D 523 ; octadecanoic acid, zinc salt (2:1) ; Zinc dioctadecanoate . It is a?white powder with fatty acid odour,?Zinc stearate is non-flammable but combustible, be incompatible with oxidizing agents, dilute acids. Emits acrid smoke and fumes of ZnO when heated to decomposition. Zinc stearate (CAS NO.557-05-1) is used as a releasing agent and lubricant in the plastics and rubber industry, can also be used as follows: As a synergic stabilizer for Ba/Cd and Pb stabilizer systems, as a gloss imparting agent in paint industry, as a metal release agent in rubber, polyurethane and polyester processing system, as a die release agent in powder metallurgy, as a chief ingredient in "fanning powder", used by magicians performing card manipulation to decrease the friction between the cards and as a libricant in cosmetics to improve texture. |
