Stearic Acid Applications Properties Production
Stearic acid, among all kinds of things, has a wide range of uses, specific properties, and exquisite production methods.
Its use is also in the genus of pastes, which can be used as a thickening agent to make the paste uniform and smooth in texture. It feels good to the touch when applied. In the industry of soap making, it participates in the saponification process. The resulting soap has good decontamination power, fine foam, and mild properties. It does not hurt the skin. In the plastic industry, it acts as a lubricant, so that when the plastic is formed, it flows smoothly, avoiding the trouble of stagnation, and the appearance is smooth and flawless.
In terms of its nature, it is white flake or block at room temperature, and the texture is solid. The melting point is moderate, about 70 degrees, and when heated, it melts into a liquid state. It is insoluble in water, but soluble in hot alcohols, ethers and other organic solvents. This property makes it suitable for all kinds of formulas, and can be fused with suitable things.
As for the production method, animal and vegetable oils are often used as the source. After hydrolysis, the oil is separated into fatty acids and glycerol. After fractionation, stearic acid is extracted according to its boiling point difference. Then it is refined to remove its impurities, so that the purity is improved, and high-quality stearic acid can be obtained to meet the needs of all parties.
