Physical and Chemical Properties of Stearic Acid
Physical properties
Stearic acid is a white, odorless solid with a melting point of 69–70°C, a boiling point of ~360°C (low pressure), and a density of 0.847 g/cm³ (at 20°C). It is insoluble in water but soluble in ethanol, chloroform, and ether. It is slightly hygroscopic and does not clump when stored in a dry environment.
Chemical properties
- Reaction with alkali (NaOH): create stearate salt through saponification reaction: C17H35COOH + NaOH → C17H35COONa + H2O
- Oxidation reaction to CO₂ and H₂O at high temperature.
- Reacts with halogens to form chemical derivatives.
- Decomposes in concentrated inorganic acid environments such as H2SO4, HCl.
Applications of Stearic Acid in Industry
- Manufacture of soaps, emulsifiers and surfactants.
- Lubricant and thermal stabilizer in PVC industry.
- Main ingredient in skin creams, lipsticks and high-end cosmetic products.
- Anti-stick additive in confectionery and food processing.
- Reduce friction in rubber processing.
- Increases color fastness and protection in paints and printing inks.
- Paper surface treatment agent and waterproofing material.
- Creates a protective and anti-oxidizing coating for metals.
