Properties and Usage:

Sodium stearate (CAS 822-16-2) is a white or off-white powder or flake, with good hydrophobicity and soluble in hot water, alcohol and ether.

1. Cleaning and washing

Sodium stearate is an important ingredient in soaps and detergents. It is not only less irritating to the skin, but also has good foaming and decontamination capabilities.

2. Cosmetics and personal care

As an emulsifier, sodium stearate can stabilize water-oil systems and is used in creams, lotions and facial cleansers.

3. Rubber and plastic processing

Sodium stearate is commonly used as a stabilizer and lubricant in the plastic and rubber industries. It effectively reduces friction during processing and prevents thermoplastic materials from degrading due to high temperatures, thereby improving production efficiency and finished product quality.

4. Coatings and paints

Sodium stearate is used as a dispersant and emulsifier in coatings to help evenly distribute pigments and improve the adhesion and uniformity of coatings. Its anti-corrosion properties also make coatings more durable.

5. Food industry

As a food additive (E470a), sodium stearate is mainly used for emulsification and anti-caking treatment.

6. Pharmaceutical field

Sodium stearate is often used in the production of tablets and capsules. As a lubricant, it improves the fluidity and compression molding effect of drug powder, thereby ensuring the consistency of dosage form and production stability.
