Description

Stearic Acid – Triple Pressed is primarily used as an emulsifier, stabilizer, and thickener due to its ability to bind oil and water components, providing consistency and texture to various formulations, particularly in cosmetic and pharmaceutical applications; it is also used as a lubricant in certain experiments due to its waxy nature.

Purification process:
“Triple pressed” indicates that the stearic acid has undergone a rigorous purification process to remove impurities, resulting in a high-quality product.
Emulsifying properties:
Its polar head group interacts with water molecules while the nonpolar tail interacts with oil, allowing it to effectively blend oil and water phases.

Cosmetics: Creating stable emulsions in creams, lotions, and soaps
Pharmaceuticals: Formulating ointments and creams with consistent textures
Chemical synthesis: As a surfactant in various reactions
Material science: Studying the properties of lubricants and coatings
