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 polishing agent for wax paper, and an emulsifier for glycerol stearate, etc.
This product is used as a lubricant, defoaming agent, and raw material for food additives such as glycerol stearate, sorbitan stearate, and sucrose esters in the food industry. It also serves as 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 helps prevent "carbonization" during the processing, and its addition during PVC film processing acts 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 significant 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. In the production of synthetic rubber, stearic acid is added as an emulsifier. For the manufacture 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 creams and cold creams to act as an emulsifier, turning them into stable, white ointments. It is also a key ingredient in the production of almond milk and milk liquids. Stearic acid esters have an even broader application in the cosmetic industry.
