The invention relates to the technical field of plastic
processing aids, in particular to a method for preparing high-temperature resistant
zinc stearate. An obtained product is mainly taken as a lubricating mold
release agent in the plastic industry for
processing at the high temperature. The method comprises the following steps of: putting
stearic acid into a reaction kettle under normal pressure to heat the
stearic acid to 130 to 180 DEG C; adding
zinc oxide and a catalyst in two steps; reacting, adding an
antioxidant, stirring and discharging the
reaction product, wherein temperature is kept between 130 and 180 DEG C in an entire reaction process; and smashing to obtain a
zinc stearate product. The
acid value of free
stearic acid in the high-temperature resistant
zinc stearate prepared by the method is less than 0.5 percent and the whiteness of the product is enhanced greatly after heat is preserved at the temperature of 220 DEG C for 2 hours. Moreover, the
zinc stearate has the advantages of stable
process control, stable product quality, small fluctuation, no
pollution of the used catalyst and the
antioxidant on the environment and capability of meeting the
environmental protection requirements of
energy conservation and emission reduction; and the process has the advantages of simpleness, easy implementation, contribution to expanding the application field of the
zinc stearate and very high economic benefit and social benefit.
