Stearic Acid, also known as Octadecanoic Acid, is one of the most common long-chain fatty acids. It is a waxy, colorless solid that is practically insoluble in water. Commercial Stearic Acid is typically a mixture of approximately equal amounts of Stearic Acid and Palmitic Acid, along with small quantities of Oleic Acid.

This product is widely used in the manufacture of candles, cosmetics, soaps, lubricants, and pharmaceuticals. It is also commonly used as a lubricant in the injection molding and pressing of ceramic powders, as well as a mold release agent for latex foam cured in stone molds.

Stearic Acid has extensive applications in the production of rubber compounds, cosmetic and personal care products, lubricants used in PVC products, and various metallic stearates. These characteristics have made Stearic Acid one of the most widely used raw materials in the plastics, rubber, and cosmetics industries.
