Metalic Stearates, For Industrial Use

SODIUM STEARATE: ( C18 H35 NaO2)

Sodium Stearate is the Sodium salt of Stearic Acid. This white solid is the most common soap. It is a fine white powder. It is a stabilizer and a thickness used in soaps, colour cosmetics, deodorants and in hair and skin care products.

​

POTASSIUM STEARATE: (C18 H35 Ko2)

Potassium Stearate is a white powder with a slight odour. It is an emulsifier used in food products, cosmetics and beauty products to stabilize formulas and increasing the thickness or add lubricating products.

ALUMINIUM STEARATE:

Aluminium salt of Stearic acid.  It acts as a water repellent agent and hydrophobic agent used as a water proofing agent in paint industry. Also acts as a thickening agent in the production of varnishes and lacquers. It is a white coloured powder dissolves well in vegetable oils on heating and if high concentration is used, on cooling getting is seen.It is insoluble in water, Alcohal and ether however soluble in glycol, alkali, BTX , chlorinated hydrocarbon.

​

MAGNISIUM STEARATE:

It is a mixture of Magnesium salt of fatty acids obtained from edible fats and oils. It is a chalk  like substance which prevents the suppliments from sticking together and allow the machinery to run smoother and faster which equates to cost saving during the manufacturing process.

​

ZINC STEARATE:

White hydrophobic powder. Zinc stearate is a soap that is widely used in industries. It is most powerful mould realease agent among all metal soaps. Its main application areas are the plastics and rubber industry where it is used as a releasing agent and lubricant which can be easily incorporated. It is insoluble in polar solvents such as alcohol and ether but soluble in aromatic hydrocarbon like benzene and chlorinated hydrocarbon when heated.

CALCIUM STEARATE:

White waxy powder. Calcium stearate is a carboxylate of calcium, classified as a calcium soap. It is a component of some lubricant , surfactant as well as many food stuffs. Unlike traditional sodium and potassium soaps, it is also easy and cheap to Produce and exhibits low toxicity used in fabric, cryon concrete mixing ,paper industry, Plastic industry, personal care and pharmaceutical manufacturer.

LITHIUM STEARATE:

Lithium  is a white solid soft chemical compound prepared by the reaction of lithium hydroxide and Stearic acid used in high temperature lubricant. When used as a flux for welding or soldring lithium promotes the fusing of metals during and eliminates the forming of oxides.
