Is there anyone out there that can explain the mechanism behind why Zinc Stearate would gel/not gel when placed in suspension with Xylenes?

I've seen some data on-line to suggest that it may be related to the free fatty acid content, but I'm wondering if someone out there in CheResources land can suggest a mechanism?

Thanks!
