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, metallic soaps, metallic 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 glycerol 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 used as a raw material for auxiliary agents and daily chemical products.

Stearic acid is widely used in the manufacturing of PVC pipes, sheets, profiles, and films. It serves as a heat stabilizer for PVC, offering excellent lubricity and good light and heat stability. In PVC pipe production, 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 agent 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. During the manufacturing of foam rubber, it can act as a foaming agent, and stearic acid can also be used as a mold release agent for rubber products.

Cosmetic Industry

Stearic acid serves as an emulsifier in creams and cold creams, enabling them to become stable and white in consistency. It is also a key ingredient in the production of almond syrup and milk. Stearic acid esters have an even broader application in the cosmetics industry.
