1. Used in pharmaceutical industry, curing oil and lubricant preparation, as well as paint desiccant. Used in the processing of PVC and rubber non-toxic products, it has a synergistic effect with calcium stearate and barium stearate, and can effectively improve the photothermal stability of PVC and rubber products. The dosage in PVC processing is usually less than 1 phr.
 
2. Used for rubber products, also used for PP, PE, PS, EPS polymerization additives and pencil lead manufacturing, the general dosage is 1: 3 phr.
 
3. Zinc stearate can be used as heat stabilizer, lubricant, grease, accelerator, thickener and so on. For example, it can be used as a heat stabilizer for PVC resin.
 
4. Used for general industrial transparent products; used with calcium soap, can be used for non-toxic products, generally used for soft products, but in recent years have begun to use hard transparent products such as mineral water bottles, water pipes and other products, this product has good lubricity and can improve the phenomenon of scaling and precipitation. it can also be used as a lubricant, release agent, and paint flatting agent, paint additive.
