'''Zinc stearate''' is a "] soap" that is widely used industrially. In this context, soap is used in its formal sense, a metal ] of a ]: in this case ]. It is a white solid that repels water. It is insoluble in polar solvents such as alcohol and ether but soluble in aromatic hydrocarbons (e.g., ]) and chlorinated hydrocarbons when heated. It is the most powerful ] among all metal soaps. It contains no electrolyte and has a hydrophobic effect. Its main application areas are the plastics and rubber industry, where it is used as a releasing agent and lubricant which can be easily incorporated.<ref name=Ullmann>David J. Anneken, Sabine Both, Ralf Christoph, Georg Fieg, Udo Steinberner, Alfred Westfechtel "Fatty Acids" in Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry 2006, Wiley-VCH, Weinheim. {{doi|10.1002/14356007.a10_245.pub2}}</ref>

Zinc carboxylates, e.g. ], adopt complex formulas, and are not simply dicarboxylates of zinc. Instead the formula for most zinc carboxylates is Zn<sub>4</sub>O(O<sub>2</sub>CR)<sub>6</sub>, consisting of a Zn<sub>4</sub>O<sup>6+</sup> core with carboxylate ligands spanning the edges.

==Applications==
It is widely used as a ] for the production of many kinds of objects: rubber, polyurethane, polyester processing system, ]. These applications exploit its "non-stick" properties.<ref name=Ullmann/> In cosmetics, zinc stearate is a lubricant and thickening agent used to improve texture.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://cosmeticsinfo.org/ingredient/zinc-stearate |title=Zinc Stearate {{!}} Cosmetics Info |website=cosmeticsinfo.org |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130906003118/http://cosmeticsinfo.org/ingredient/zinc-stearate |archive-date=2013-09-06}} </ref>

It is an "activator" for accelerated rubber ]. As discovered in the early days of vulcanization, zinc has a beneficial effect on the reaction of the sulfur with the polyolefin. The stearate is a form of zinc that is highly soluble in the nonpolar medium of the polyolefins.

Being lipophilic, it functions as a ] for the ] of fats.<ref name=Ullmann/>

===Niche uses===
It is a component of some paints, imparting gloss. As a chief ingredient in "fanning powder", it is used by magicians performing ] to decrease the friction between playing cards.
