CAS Number: 557-05-1, Molecular Weight: 632.2, Chemical Formula: Zn(C18H35O2)2, EINECS EC Number: 209-151-9, HS Code 29157010

Zinc stearate is a white, hydrophobic powder with a slight, characteristic odor. Zinc stearate is a "zinc soap" that is widely used industrially. It is the most powerful mold release agent. In cosmetics, zinc stearate is a lubricant and thickening agent used to improve texture. It is a component of some paints, imparting gloss. It is also used in pharmaceutical industry.

Zinc Stearate USP Grade Specifications:
Octadecanoic acid, zinc salt;
Zinc stearate CAS 557-05-1

DEFINITION
Zinc Stearate is a compound of zinc with a mixture of solid organic acids obtained from fats and consists chiefly of variable proportions of zinc stearate and zinc palmitate. It contains the equivalent of NLT 12.5% and NMT 14.0% of ZnO.

IDENTIFICATION
A. Identification Tests - General, Zinc
Sample solution: Mix 25 g with 200 mL of hot water, add 60 mL of 2 N sulfuric acid, and boil until the fatty acids separate as a transparent layer. Cool the mixture, and remove the solidified layer of fatty acids.
Acceptance criteria: A portion of the water layer meets the requirements.
B. Congealing Temperature
Analysis: Place the separated fatty acids obtained in Identification test A in a filter wetted with water, and wash with boiling water until free from sulfate. Collect the fatty acids in a small beaker, allow to cool, pour off the separated water, then melt the acids. Filter into a dry beaker while hot, and dry at 105C for 20 min.
Acceptance criteria: The fatty acids congeal at a temperature not below 54C.

ASSAY
Procedure
Sample solution: Boil 1 g of Zinc Stearate with 50 mL of 0.1 N sulfuric acid for at least 10 min, or until the fatty acids layer is clear, adding more water as necessary to maintain the original volume. Cool, and filter. Wash the filter and the flask thoroughly with water until the last washing is not acid to litmus paper.
Analysis: Add to the combined filtrate and washings 15 mL of ammonia-ammonium chloride buffer and 0.2 mL of eriochrome black. Heat the solution to about 40C and titrate with 0.05 M edetate disodium until the solution is deep blue in color. Each mL of 0.05 M edetate disodium is equivalent to 4.069 mg of ZnO.
Acceptance criteria: 12.5% to 14.0% of ZnO

Fire: Flash point: 279C (534F)
Auto ignition temperature: 790C (1454F)
Minimum dust cloud ignition temperature is 690C (1274F). Contact with strong oxidizers may cause fire.
Explosion: Fine dust of Zinc stearate dispersed in air in sufficient concentrations, and in the presence of an ignition source is a potential dust explosion hazard. Minimum exposable concentration: 0.02 g/l (air). (Bureau of Mines, 1968). Maximum explosion pressure: 68 lb./sq. in. @ 0.3 ounces per cubic foot. Sensitive to static discharge.
Fire Extinguishing Media: Water spray, dry chemical, alcohol foam, or carbon dioxide. Water or foam may cause frothing.
Extinguishing Media Not recommended: Avoid using solid water jet as it may scatter the fire.
Special Information: In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing and NIOSH-approved self-contained breathing apparatus with full face piece operated in the pressure demand or other positive pressure mode. At high temperatures under fire conditions, it may produce toxic or irritating fumes. Fire-extinguishing work is done from the windward and the suitable fire-extinguishing method according to the surrounding situation is used. Uninvolved persons should evacuate to a safe place.

Personal precautions, protective equipment, and emergency procedures: Avoid breathing dust/fumes/gas/mist/vapors/spray. Use individual protective equipment (waterproof boots, suitable protective clothing, safety glasses, etc.). Restrict unprotected personnel from the area. Prevent any contact with hot surfaces. Do not approach facing the wind. Do not touch the spilled material.
Environmental precautions: Do not let the product enter drains, soil, or water sources.
Methods and materials used for containment cleanup procedures and Storage: Do not inhale dust, vapors, mist, or gas. Avoid dust formation. Contain spilled material. Cover with an inert, non-combustible absorbent material, (e.g., sand, earth, diatomaceous earth, vermiculite). Use a shovel to put the material into a convenient waste disposal container. Finish cleaning by spreading water on the contaminated surface and allow to evacuate as per law.

Precautions for safe handling: Apply according to good manufacturing and industrial hygiene practices. Ensure proper ventilation. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. Wash thoroughly after handling. Do not drink, eat, or smoke while handling. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing. Minimize dust generation. Avoid breathing dust/fumes/gas/mist/vapors/spray. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Keep container tightly closed. Avoid ingestion and inhalation. Use individual protective equipment (waterproof boots, suitable protective clothing, safety glasses, etc.). Prevent any contact with hot surfaces.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities: Store in cool, dry, and ventilated area away from heat sources and protected from sunlight in tightly closed original container. Keep air contact to a minimum. Store protected from heat, sparks and ignition sources and incompatible materials. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid inhalation of dust/mist/vapor. Do not store with incompatible materials like strong oxidizing agents, strong alkalis, peroxides, oxygen, and acids. Ground all equipment containing material and protect from static discharge.

Airborne Exposure Limits:
-OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL):
15 mg/m3 total dust, 5 mg/m3 respirable fraction for zinc stearate
-ACGIH Threshold Limit Value (TLV):
10 mg/m3 total dust for stearate (does not include stearate of toxic metals)
Ventilation System:
A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee exposures below the Airborne Exposure Limits. Local exhaust ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the emissions of the contaminant at its source, preventing dispersion of it into the general work area. Please refer to the ACGIH document, Industrial Ventilation, A Manual of Recommended Practices, most recent edition, for details.
Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved): If the exposure limit is exceeded and engineering controls are not feasible, a half face piece particulate respirator (NIOSH type N95 or better filters) may be worn for up to ten times the exposure limit or the maximum use concentration specified by the appropriate regulatory agency or respirator supplier, whichever is lowest. A full-face piece particulate respirator (NIOSH type N100 filters) may be worn up to 50 times the exposure limit, or the maximum use concentration specified by the appropriate regulatory agency, or respirator supplier, whichever is lowest. If oil particles (e.g., lubricants, cutting fluids, glycerin, etc.) are present, use a NIOSH type R or P filter. For emergencies or instances where the exposure levels are not known, use a full-face piece positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator. WARNING: Air-purifying respirators do not protect workers in oxygen-deficient atmospheres.
Skin Protection: Gloves and lab coat, apron, or coveralls.
Eye Protection: Use chemical safety goggles.
Other Control Measures: Maintain good housekeeping in work area. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice.
