Stearic Acid
Stearic Acid (CAS: 57-11-4) is a long-chain saturated fatty acid supplied as a white powder or flakes. It is one of the most widely used fatty acids, serving as an emulsifier, thickener, and consistency agent in cosmetics and personal care, a vulcanization activator and softener in rubber processing, a core component of soaps and detergents, and a lubricant in plastics and metalworking. It is also used in candle making, textile sizing, and as a tablet lubricant in pharmaceutical formulations. The material melts cleanly and blends easily into both aqueous and oil-phase systems. Customers select it where a versatile, naturally derived fatty acid is required.
