Primarily used for producing 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, polishing agents, metallic 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 polisher for wax paper, and an emulsifier for glycerides of stearic acid, etc.

This product is used as a lubricant, defoamer, and raw material for food additives such as glycerides of stearic acid, sorbitan esters of stearic acid, and sucrose esters in the food industry. It is also used as a raw material for auxiliary agents and daily chemical products.

Stearic acid is widely used in the manufacturing of PVC plastic pipes, sheets, profiles, and films. It acts 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, and its addition in PVC film processing serves as an effective heat stabilizer. Additionally, it can defend against discoloration of the finished film caused by exposure to sulfur compounds.

Rubber Industry

Stearic acid plays a significant role in the synthesis and processing of rubber. It is widely used as a vulcanizing agent in natural rubber, synthetic rubber, and latex, and can also serve as a plasticizer and softener. During the production of synthetic rubber, stearic acid is added as an emulsifier. In the manufacturing of foam rubber, it acts as a foaming agent. Additionally, stearic acid can be used as a release 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 stable, white ointments. It is also a key ingredient in making almond milk and milk lotions. Stearic acid esters have an even broader application in the cosmetic industry.
