They can be ideally adapted to the most recent requirements of the processing industry. Metal soaps, especially calcium and zinc stearates, can influence the properties of thermosets in many different ways. Metal soaps can help adapt the viscosity of molding compounds during processing, but also act as mould release agents during subsequent processing stages in the forming presses, thus helping to control and optimise the manufacturing process. Additives for thermosets are often exposed to particular stress such as heat, external mechanical forces or wear and tear, as their main application is in the automotive industry or in the manufacturing of housings for electronic construction parts.
