Application
Zinc Stearate Powder is widely used as a lubricant in the production of polyolefin fibers. It helps to improve the processing
of the fibers by reducing friction and preventing sticking.
Polyolefin fibers, such as polypropylene and polyethylene, are commonly used in the textile industry for applications like
carpets, upholstery, and geotextiles. During the manufacturing process, these fibers can become entangled and stick
together, causing production issues and affecting the quality of the final product.
By adding zinc stearate powder to the polyolefin fibers, the lubricant forms a thin layer on the surface, reducing the friction
between the fibers and allowing them to slide more easily. This helps to prevent sticking and tangling, leading to smoother
processing and improved fiber quality.
Zinc stearate powder has excellent thermal stability, which makes it suitable for use in high-temperature processing of polyolefin
fibers. It also has good compatibility with the polymer matrix of the fibers, ensuring effective lubrication without affecting their
physical properties.
In addition to its lubricating properties, zinc stearate powder also acts as an effective anti-static agent, reducing static charges
during fiber production and improving the handling and processing of the fibers.
Overall, zinc stearate powder is an essential additive in the production of polyolefin fibers, providing lubrication, anti-static
properties, and improved processability. Its fine particle size ensures uniform dispersion and effective performance in the fiber
manufacturing process.
