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-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 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 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 helps prevent "carbonization" during the processing, and its addition during PVC film processing serves as an effective heat stabilizer. It also guards against 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 widely used as a vulcanizing activator 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 can act 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 emulsifying agent in creams and cold creams, contributing to their stable, white, and creamy consistency. It is also a key ingredient in making almond nectar and milk-based products. Stearic acid esters have an even broader application in the cosmetic industry.
