Our rubber grade stearic acid (commonly known as Stearic Acid 1801) is a high-quality saturated fatty acid widely used as a vital vulcanization activator in the rubber industry. It features excellent heat stability and low volatility, ensuring optimal performance during the rubber compounding process.
Key Functions in Rubber Manufacturing
Vulcanization Activator: Acts as a co-activator with zinc oxide to speed up the vulcanization rate and improve cross-linking efficiency.
Internal Lubricant: Enhances the flowability of rubber compounds, reducing energy consumption during mixing and extrusion.
External Mold Release Agent: Provides a smooth surface finish and prevents the rubber from sticking to the molds.
