Stearic Acid (Rubber Grade) is a mixture of fatty acids, primarily composed of octadecanoic acid (stearic) and hexadecanoic acid (palmitic 50%), with controlled titration (molecular composition) and acid value (presence of unsaturation).
Features
Rubber grade stearic acid is used as a processing aid and lubricant in the rubber industry. This compound improves the dispersion of fillers and enhances the flow of compounds, facilitating the mixing and shaping of rubber. Additionally, during vulcanization, it improves the performance of accelerators and helps form stable cross-links, ultimately enhancing the mechanical properties of the final product.
Applications
• Production of various rubbers (automotive, industrial, general-purpose)
• Processing aid in plastic compound production
• Candle manufacturing
• Cosmetics and personal care (creams, lotions, softeners)
• Production of soaps, detergents, and body washes
• Industrial lubricants
• Heat stabilizer in PVC
• Leather and adhesive industry
• Anti-static agent in plastic and electronics production
“ Rubber grade octadecanoic acid is meticulously refined to ensure exceptional purity and precise control over particle size, enhancing performance and quality in rubber manufacturing processes. ”
