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-resistant plasticizers, release agents, stabilizers, surfactants, rubber vulcanization accelerators, waterproofing agents, polishing agents, metal soaps, metal mineral flotation agents, softeners, and other organic chemicals.

Additionally, it can be used as a solvent for oil-soluble dyes, a lubricant for crayons, a polishing agent for wax paper, and an emulsifier for glyceryl stearate, 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 employed as a raw material for auxiliaries and daily chemical products.

Stearic acid is widely used in the manufacturing of PVC plastic pipes, sheets, 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 "carbonization" during the processing, and adding it to PVC film processing acts as an effective heat stabilizer. It also helps prevent discoloration of the finished film caused by exposure to sulfur compounds.

Rubber Industry

Stearic acid plays a crucial role in the synthesis and processing of rubber. It is a widely used vulcanization activator in natural rubber, synthetic rubber, and latex, and can also serve as a plasticizer and softener. In the production of synthetic rubber, stearic acid is added as an emulsifier. When making foam rubber, it acts as a foaming agent, and stearic acid can also be used as a release agent for rubber products.

Cosmetic Industry

Stearic acid serves as an emulsifier in skincare products like creams and cold creams, stabilizing them into a smooth, white paste. It is also a key ingredient in making almond syrup and milk. Stearic acid esters have an even broader application in the cosmetic industry.
