Zinc stearate is a white powder, insoluble in water, soluble in heat It contains organic solvents such as ethanol, benzene, toluene, and turpentine; it decomposes into stearic acid and corresponding salts when exposed to acids; it is a fire hazard under dry conditions, with an auto-ignition point of 900°C; it is hygroscopic.
Reminder: Due to the physical and chemical properties of zinc stearate, the following aspects need to be paid attention to when storing zinc stearate:
Lined with plastic bag, outer woven bag or sack packaging. Store in a cool, dry and ventilated place, away from fire sources;
Tightly seal the packaging to prevent moisture;
The storage temperature should not be too high. Store in a cool, ventilated warehouse;
Keep away from fire and heat sources (auto-ignition point 900°C);
Avoid generating dust;
Should be kept away from oxidants and acids. Store them separately and avoid mixed storage (when encountering acids, they will decompose into stearic acid and corresponding salts, causing their deterioration);
Equipped with fire-fighting equipment of corresponding varieties and quantities. Suitable materials should be available in the storage area to contain spills.
