Primarily used in the production of 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 be used as a solvent for oil-soluble pigments, a lubricant for crayons, a polisher 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 manufacturing of PVC pipes, boards, profiles, and films. It serves as a heat stabilizer for PVC, offering excellent lubricity and good light and thermal stability. In PVC pipes, stearic acid aids in preventing "coking" during the processing, and its addition in PVC film processing is an effective heat stabilizer. Additionally, it can prevent discoloration of 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 vulcanization activator in natural rubber, synthetic rubber, and latex, and can also serve 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 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 skin care products like creams and cold creams, stabilizing them into a smooth, white paste. It is also a key ingredient in the production of almond milk and cream. Stearic acid esters find broader applications in the cosmetics industry.
