Primarily used for producing stearates: sodium stearate, magnesium stearate, calcium stearate, lead stearate, aluminum stearate, cadmium stearate, iron stearate, potassium stearate.

Widely used in the manufacturing of cosmetics, plastic cold-resistant plasticizers, release agents, stabilizers, surfactants, rubber curing accelerators, waterproof 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 polish for wax paper, and an emulsifier for glycerides of stearic acid, 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 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 PVC heat stabilizer, offering excellent lubricity and good light and thermal stability. In PVC pipe production, stearic acid aids in preventing "coking" during the processing stage. As an effective heat stabilizer added during PVC film processing, it also helps prevent discoloration of the finished film 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 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 emulsifier in face creams and cold creams, contributing to their stable, white, creamy consistency. It is also a key ingredient in the production of almond milk and milky liquids. Stearic acid soaps find broader applications in the cosmetic industry.
