Metal Soaps
Metal Soaps are compounds of metals with fatty acids derived from vegetable oils or animal tallow, the most common acid used being stearic acid, which contains mostly C16 and C18 chains in its industrial form. The main metals used are sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, zinc and aluminium.
Powder-form Ca and Zn stearates are also widely used in the plastics industry as lubricants and components of heat stabilizers, especially for PVC, and in many other industries as lubricants or anti-caking agents. Zinc soaps are used as external lubricants in PVC formulations, and also have a reducing effect on the initial colouring.
Calcium Stearate used as internal lubricants in PVC formulations, also act as co-stabilisers that increase the heat stability of plastics.
The specific benefits of dispersions as opposed to powder-form stearates are that there are no dusty powders to handle, the products easy to disperse into water-based systems, and critical product quality parameters can often be more accurately controlled.
