What Is A Stearic Acid
Stearic acid is a common fatty acid. Its chemical structure, containing a long chain of eighteen carbons, has a carboxyl group at one end. At room temperature, it is solid and has a certain hardness and melting point.
Stearic acid comes from a wide range of sources, and animal and vegetable oils can be obtained by hydrolysis. In the industrial field, it has many uses. For example, in the production of cosmetics, it can be used as an emulsifier to make oil and water phase fusion, so that the texture of the product is uniform and stable, and it can give the product a smooth feeling. In the plastics industry, it is often used as a lubricant to reduce friction during plastic processing, improve processing performance, and make the surface of plastic products smoother. In the rubber industry, it can also be used as a softener to enhance the flexibility and plasticity of rubber.
Looking at its characteristics, stearic acid has certain chemical stability. However, under certain conditions, carboxyl groups can participate in many chemical reactions, such as reacting with bases to form salts. This salt also has special uses in some fields. In short, stearic acid plays an important role in many industrial production and the manufacture of daily necessities.
