Zinc Stearate Production Cost Reports

The report provides a detailed analysis essential for establishing a Zinc Stearate manufacturing plant. It encompasses all critical aspects necessary for Zinc Stearate production, including the cost of Zinc Stearate production, Zinc Stearate plant cost, Zinc Stearate production costs, and the overall Zinc Stearate manufacturing plant cost. Additionally, the study covers specific expenditures associated with setting up and operating a Zinc Stearate production plant. These encompass manufacturing processes, raw material requirements, utility requirements, infrastructure needs, machinery and technology requirements, manpower requirements, packaging requirements, transportation requirements, and more.

Zinc Stearate belongs to the class of stearates that is majorly associated with the cosmetics, plastic, polymer, rubber, pharmaceutical, and construction industries. The compound serves as an emulsifier or texture enhancer in the production of cosmetics and personal care products. It provides a better texture, improving its spreadability in products, including makeup products, face powders, foundations, lotions, lip colors, etc. It acts as a waterproofing agent in the preparation of concrete while refining the hydrophobicity of the concrete mixture prepared for construction activities. Zinc Stearate is one of the popular additives that is used to produce paints and coating chemicals. Also, it is included in formulating medications and producing tablets and capsules in the pharmaceutical industry.

Industrial Zinc Stearate procurement is affected by its large-scale demand in the chemical, cosmetics, construction, pharmaceutical, plastic, and polymer industries. Its wide-range applications in the production and formulation of adhesives, sealants, personal care products, and plastic varieties strengthen its demand in the cosmetics, chemical, and polymer industries. Its usage as a heat stabilizer in the production of plastic varieties, including PVC material, increases its demand. Its applications in the production of cosmetics and personal care items drive its demand in the cosmetics industry. Also, other applications, including metal processing, lubrication, and pharmaceutical drug products in the form of capsules and tablets, along with paint and coating varieties, boost its demand in the global market. The variations in its demand as a chemical additive or stearate variety govern its overall procurement across the globe.

Raw Material for Zinc Stearate Production

According to the Zinc Stearate manufacturing plant project report, the key raw materials used in the production of Zinc Stearate include Stearic Acid-Zinc Oxide.

Manufacturing Process of Zinc Stearate

The extensive Zinc Stearate production cost report consists of the following major industrial manufacturing process:

• From Stearic Acid and Zinc Oxide: The manufacturing process of Zinc Stearate includes a neutralization reaction. In this reaction, stearic acid reacts with zinc oxide, leading to the neutralization of stearic acid. This reaction results in the formation of Zinc Stearate as the final product.

Zinc Stearate is a white powder with the chemical formula Zn(C18H35O2)2 and a molecular weight of 632.3 g/mol. It is hydrophobic in nature and has a faint characteristic odor. Its melting and flash point is measured at approximately 130 °C and 277 °C, respectively. It is highly insoluble in water but dissolves in acids and other common solvents. The compound is soluble in solvents such as benzene. However, it is insoluble in alcohol and ether. Its density is 1.1 g/cm³, under a standard temperature of 25 °C. It decomposes when heated at a high temperature while producing irritating and toxic fumes and it is hydrophobic in nature and breaks down when reacted with dilute acids.
