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, 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 polishing agent 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 auxiliaries and daily chemical products.
Stearic acid is widely used in the production of PVC pipes, boards, profiles, and films. It acts as a PVC heat stabilizer, offering excellent lubricity and good light and heat stability. In PVC pipe manufacturing, stearic acid helps prevent "carbonization" during the processing, and adding it during PVC film processing is an effective heat stabilizer. It also serves to prevent the discoloration of finished films 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 vulcanization activator in natural rubber, synthetic rubber, and latex, and can also serve as a plasticizer and softener. In the production of synthetic rubber, stearic acid is added as an emulsifier. When making foam rubber, it can act 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 creams and cold creams, contributing to their stable, white, creamy consistency. It is also a key ingredient in making almond syrup and milky liquids. Stearic acid soaps find broader applications in the cosmetic industry.
