Zinc Stearate Lab Grade

Zinc Stearate, also known as Stearic Acid Zinc Salt, Octadecanoic Acid, Zinc Dioctadecanoate, and Zinc Distearate, has the chemical formula C₃₆H₇₀O₄Zn or [CH₃(CH₂)₁₆COO]₂Zn. It appears as a beige to white hydrophobic powder or granules with a slight, characteristic odor. It is soluble in Benzene and insoluble in Water, Alcohol, and Ether at ambient conditions. It can be produced in a variety of different ways. Commonly, the Zinc Sulfate solution is reacted with the Sodium Stearate solution to produce Zinc Stearate, which is then washed and dried. Chemically pure or Laboratory reagents are the two terms often used to describe Lab Grade chemicals. Lab Grade chemicals do not meet any accepted quality or purity requirements such as the ACS Grade, the USP Grade, and the FCC Grade, despite their acceptable purity.
