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, water-repellents, polishing agents, metal soaps, metal mineral flotation agents, softeners, and other organic chemicals.

Additionally, it can also be used as a solvent for oil-soluble dyes, a lubricant for crayons, a polishing agent for wax paper, and an emulsifier for glycerides of stearic acid, etc.

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

Stearic acid is widely used in the manufacturing of PVC plastic pipes, boards, 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 adding it to PVC film processing serves as an effective heat stabilizer. It also protects the finished film from discoloration 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 vulcanizing activator in natural rubber, synthetic rubber, and latex, and can also be used as a plasticizer and softener. Stearic acid is added as an emulsifier during the production of synthetic rubber. In the manufacturing of foam rubber, it can act as a foaming agent. Additionally, stearic acid can be used as a release agent for rubber products.

Cosmetic Industry

Stearic acid is used in skin care products like cream and cold cream as an emulsifier, transforming them into stable, white creams. It is also a key ingredient in the production of almond milk and cream. Stearic acid esters find broader applications in the cosmetics industry.
