Metallic Stearates Overview
Metallic stearates are the salt of metal with long carbon fatty acid chain known as octadecanoic acid. Generally they are produced by the reaction of steric acid and metal halides, metal sulfate, metal oxide and others. They possess a chemically stable hydrocarbon chain and offers hydrophobic nature. They comprise of several properties such as water repellence, separating property, stabilizing effect, gelling capacity, foam inhibition and lubricating property. Metallic stearates classified into are aluminum, calcium, zinc, and magnesium. It has a wide application in pharmaceuticals, plastics, rubber, cosmetics, coatings, building & construction, and others.
