Stearic Acid

Formula: C₁₈H₃₆O₂ GOST/CAS: CAS: 57-11-4

Stearic Acid is one of the most common saturated fatty acids found in nature, produced through the hydrolysis of animal and vegetable fats followed by distillation. It is highly valued in industry for its emulsifying, stabilizing, and lubricating properties, making it an essential component in the production of PVC, cosmetics, and rubber products.

Applications

PVC & Rubber Industry: Acts as an external lubricant. Facilitates polymer processing and prevents the material from sticking to the equipment.

Cosmetics & Soap Manufacturing: A primary ingredient in creams and lotions. Provides hardness to products, improves texture, and leaves a pleasant feel on the skin.

Candle Production: Increases the melting point of paraffin and wax, making candles harder and extending their burning time.

Textile Industry: Used for softening fabrics and leather, providing them with water-repellent properties.

Key Advantages

Excellent Lubrication Properties: Significantly reduces friction during extrusion processes, extending equipment life and ensuring a smooth product surface.

High Purity & Stability: Highly resistant to oxidation, ensuring consistent color (whiteness) and odor stability in the final product.

Eco-Friendly Product: A biodegradable product that is safe for human health and the environment when used according to standards.
