Triple Pressed Stearic Acid

Descripción y generalidades

Triple pressed stearic acid is a long-chain saturated fatty acid with the chemical formula C₁₈H₃₆O₂, which generally appears as a white, waxy solid. This grade of stearic acid is characterized by its high purity and consistency, obtained through a triple pressing process that ensures the removal of unwanted impurities and by-products.

Due to its physical and chemical properties, triple pressed stearic acid is used in a wide variety of industries, including cosmetics, candle making, plastics, and lubricants, where it acts as a stabilizer, emulsifier, and lubricating agent.

Its high purity and consistency make it a reliable raw material for industrial processes that require strict standards of quality, safety, and performance.

Physical and Chemical Properties

Triple pressed stearic acid has specific characteristics that make it ideal for industrial applications:

  • Compatibility: It mixes efficiently with other fatty acids, waxes, oils, and chemicals used in the industry.
  • Chemical formula: C₁₈H₃₆O₂.
  • Appearance: White waxy solid, with a homogeneous texture.
  • Melting point: Between 69°C and 71°C, which allows it to melt and mix easily in manufacturing processes.
  • Solubility: Insoluble in water, soluble in alcohols and oils, which facilitates its integration into lipid and fat-based formulations.
  • Stability: Highly stable at room temperature and under proper storage, resistant to oxidation and degradation.
