Description

Sodium Stearate is an inorganic compound with the formula C₁₈H₃₅NaO₂, belonging to the fatty acid salt class. This compound is a sodium salt form of Stearic Acid, which usually appears as a white or yellowish crystalline powder. It has unique hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties that make it excellent in a variety of applications. Sodium Stearate is a widely used surfactant favored for its good emulsification, foaming, and thickening properties. Its molecular structure contains long-chain fatty acids and sodium ions, and this unique combination enables it to form micelles in water, thus playing an important role in a variety of chemical products. Due to its mild nature, Sodium Stearate has found widespread use in personal care and cleaning products. Not only does it effectively cleanse the skin and hair, it also provides gentle protection against irritation and dryness. Sodium Stearate is also used in the pharmaceutical industry as an emulsifier and stabilizer to help drugs disperse and absorb better. In the food industry, it is also used as an emulsifier to improve the texture and stability of food. Due to its versatility and gentleness, Sodium Stearate plays an important role in many everyday products.

Sodium stearate Use and Manufacturing

Methods of Manufacturing

Stearic acid was added to the reaction kettle, heated to melt, and then NaOH aqueous solution was added with stirring, heated at 65°C for 2h, and the pH value was controlled at 8.0 to 8.5. Spray dried product.

Uses

Sodium Stearate is an inorganic compound with the formula C₁₈H₃₅NaO₂, belonging to the fatty acid salt class. This compound is a sodium salt form of Stearic Acid, which usually appears as a white or yellowish crystalline powder. It has unique hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties that make it excellent in a variety of applications. In the cosmetics industry, Sodium Stearate is commonly used in skin care and cosmetics as an emulsifier and thickener to help stabilize the product's formulation and improve the sense of application, making the product more delicate and easy to apply. In terms of cleaning agents, Sodium Stearate, as one of the main ingredients in detergents and soaps, can provide good foaming and cleaning properties, and effectively remove stains and oils. In addition, in the field of food additives, Sodium Stearate can be used as an emulsifier to help improve the texture and stability of the food, making the food more delicate and taste better. In terms of industrial applications, Sodium Stearate is also widely used in the plastics, rubber and coatings industries as an additive to improve the physical properties and processing characteristics of products, and improve the quality and durability of products.
