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, 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, defoaming agent, 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 also serves as a raw material for auxiliaries and daily chemical products.

Stearic acid is widely used in the manufacturing of PVC plastic pipes, boards, 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 helps prevent "carbonization" during the processing, and adding it to PVC film processing acts as an effective heat stabilizer. It also guards against discoloration in 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 acts as a foaming agent. Additionally, stearic acid can be used as a mold release agent for rubber products.

Cosmetic Industry

Stearic acid serves as an emulsifying agent in skin care products like cream and cold cream, making them stable and white. It is also a key ingredient in the production of almond milk and cream. Stearic acid esters find broader applications in the cosmetic industry.
