1. Polymers & Resins

• Lubricant: Zinc stearate reduces internal and external friction during plastic processing. It helps molten polymer flow smoothly through machinery during extrusion and molding, reducing wear on equipment and defects in finished products.
• Dispersant: Helps evenly distribute pigments, fillers, or other additives, ensuring 
• Mold release agent: Prevents rubber compounds from sticking to hot metal molds, ensuring clean, smooth surfaces and reducing mold maintenance.
• Activator: Works with zinc oxide and stearic acid in vulcanization, improving the efficiency of sulfur cross-linking which enhances the elasticity and durability of rubber products.

2. Paints, Coatings & Adhesive 

• Flatting agent: Creates a matte or satin appearance by scattering light on the paint surface. Ideal for interior wall paints or decorative finishes.
• Pigment dispersant: Improves color uniformity and reduces pigment clumping, enhancing coating performance and aesthetics.
• Anti-settling agent: Keeps solid particles suspended in the liquid phase, improving shelf life and reducing the need for re-mixing.

3. Personal Care

• Slip agent: Provides a silky, smooth texture in pressed powders and foundations. Makes products feel soft and luxurious when applied.
• Water repellency: Adds water resistance to makeup, sunscreens, and lotions, helping them stay effective longer.
• Non-toxic and skin-friendly: Zinc stearate is a safe, inert compound, making it ideal for sensitive skin products like baby powders and medicated creams.

4. Pharmaceuticals

• Tablet lubricant: Reduces friction during compression, allowing tablets to be ejected easily from molds.
• Anti-adherent: Prevents powders from sticking to punches and dies, maintaining clean equipment and product uniformity.
• Flow agent: Enhances powder flowability for consistent filling during tablet production.

5. Pulp & Paper Solutions

• Gloss enhancer: When applied as a coating, it improves surface smoothness and shine, especially on glossy paper used for printing.
• Anti-blocking agent: Prevents coated paper sheets from sticking to each other during storage or packaging.

6. Construction

• Concrete form release: Acts as a barrier between wet concrete and mold surfaces, ensuring easy demolding and smooth finishes.
• Hydrophobic agent: Makes concrete surfaces water-resistant, reducing water absorption and protecting against freeze-thaw damage.

7. Fabric Solutions

• Softening agent: Applied during textile finishing to impart a soft hand feel to fabrics, especially cotton and blends.
• Water resistance: Adds hydrophobicity to textiles used in rainwear, outdoor gear, and upholstery.
