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 resistance plasticizers, release agents, stabilizers, surfactants, rubber vulcanization accelerators, water repellents, polishers, 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 glyceryl stearate, 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 is also used as a raw material for auxiliary agents and daily chemical products.

Stearic acid is widely used in the manufacturing of PVC plastic pipes, sheets, profiles, and films. It acts 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 serves 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 widely used as a vulcanizing agent 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, can act as a foaming agent in the manufacturing of foam rubber, and can also 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, turning them into stable, white ointments. It is also a key ingredient in making almond syrup and milk lotions. Stearic acid esters find broader applications in the cosmetics industry.
