PROCESS FOR PREPARING AQUEOUS DISPERSION OF HIGHER FATTY ACID ZINC SALT

摘要

A process for preparing an aqueous dispersion of a higher fatty acid zinc salt which comprises adding a molten higher fatty acid to an aqueous dispersion of zinc oxide and reacting the higher fatty acid with the zinc oxide in the presence of a surfactant or a water-soluble polyvinyl alcohol with stirring while the aqueous dispersion is maintained at a tempereature that is higher than the melting point of the higher fatty acid used.
