Stearic Acid

Stearic Acid: Rubber Grade

Stearic acid is a saturated fatty acid commonly derived from animal and vegetable fats. It is widely used in various industries, including cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and food production. In cosmetics, stearic acid acts as an emulsifier and thickening agent, providing stability to lotions and creams.

Product Introduction:

Stearic acid is one of the unsaturated, non-toxic, long-chain fatty acids. This substance, which is a solid wax-like compound, is primarily used to make plastics, candles, food supplements, cosmetics, and to soften rubber.

Product Features:

Due to its hydrophobicity, stearic acid is insoluble in water, but it dissolves in other solvents such as alcohols and acetic acids. This substance possesses excellent softening, lubricating, and cleaning properties.

Product Applications:

This product is used extensively in numerous industries, including the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and industrial sectors, to manufacture creams, soaps, shampoos, candles, motor oil and industrial lubricants, molds, paints, and coatings. Additionally, stearic acid is used in tires as a dispersant, softener, and lubricant.

Storage Condition:

Because moisture causes it to oxidize, stearic acid should be stored at room temperature and away from heat, heat, and humidity. Stearic acid is regarded as a non-toxic substance; however, due to the fact that inhaling this acid can cause eye and throat irritation, the HSE rules must be strictly adhered to when using this substance.
