Primarily used in the production of stearates: sodium stearate, magnesium stearate, calcium stearate, lead stearate, aluminum stearate, cadmium stearate, iron stearate, potassium stearate.

Broadly used in the production of cosmetics, plastic cold resistance plasticizers, release agents, stabilizers, surfactants, rubber vulcanization accelerators, waterproofing agents, polishers, metal soaps, metal mineral flotation agents, softeners, and other organic chemicals.

Additionally, it can be used as a solvent for oil-soluble pigments, a lubricant for crayons, a polishing agent for wax paper, and an emulsifier for glycerol stearate, etc.

This product is used as a lubricant, defoamer, and raw material for food additives such as glycerol stearate, sorbitan stearate, and sucrose esters in the food industry. It also serves as raw material for additives and daily chemical products.

Stearic acid is widely used in the manufacturing of PVC plastic pipes, boards, profiles, and films. It serves as a heat stabilizer for PVC, offering excellent lubricity and good light and heat stability. In PVC pipes, stearic acid aids in preventing "coking" during the processing stage. Adding it to PVC film processing is an effective heat stabilizer and also helps prevent discoloration of the finished film when exposed to sulfur compounds.

Rubber Industry

Stearic acid plays a significant role in the synthesis and processing of rubber. It is a widely used vulcanizing activator in natural rubber, synthetic rubber, and latex, and can also serve as a plasticizer and softener. Stearic acid is added as an emulsifier in the production of synthetic rubber. It can act as a foaming agent in the manufacturing of foam rubber and is also used as a demolding agent for rubber products.

Cosmetic Industry

Stearic acid is used in skincare products like creams and cold creams to act as an emulsifier, turning them into a stable, white paste. It is also a key ingredient in the production of almond milk and cream. Stearic acid esters have an even broader application in the cosmetics industry.
