Characteristics and synthesis method of lithium stearate

 Overview of Lithium Stearate

Lithium stearate is a white powdery compound with the chemical formula LiC18H35O2, also known as lithium octadecanoate and lithium octadecanoate.

White powder or colorless crystals. Density: 1.025 g/cm3. Melting point: 220.0-221.5°C. Stable under normal temperature and pressure. Slightly soluble in water and ethanol, the solubility in water is 0.09 g/100ml, and the solubility in ethanol is 0.04 g/100ml. It is decomposed into stearic acid and corresponding lithium salt in case of strong acid. Insoluble in ethyl acetate and mineral oil. It forms colloids in mineral oil.

Characteristics and synthesis method of lithium stearate

resolve resolution

Method 1: Dissolve 10g stearic acid in 100mL 95% ethanol and titrate with 0.5mol/L lithium hydroxide ethanol solution (if lithium hydroxide cannot be completely dissolved in ethanol, add water to make it completely dissolved), using phenolphthalein as an indicator. After the reaction reaches the equivalence point, the precipitated lithium stearate soap is separated by suction filtration. The crude product can be recrystallized with 95% ethanol to obtain a pure product.

Method 2: Dissolve sodium hydroxide in water to form a solution, add stearic acid, fully react, and heat to above 100°C. Lithium chloride is dissolved in water, cooled to room temperature, and added to the prepared sodium stearate solution for reaction; after the reaction, the material is discharged and centrifuged for dehydration; the finished product is dried by airflow drying equipment. To

Lithium stearate has good stability and reduces the overall cost of the enterprise. Mainly used as PVC heat stabilizer, suitable for transparent products. Its good performance can reduce the overall cost of the enterprise.

Lithium Stearate Application

Lithium stearate can be used as a polyvinyl chloride heat stabilizer for transparent products. When used in conjunction with phthalate plasticizers, the products will not produce white fog and the film has good transparency. Lithium stearate is easier to melt in ketones than other stearates, and paleontology has less influence on embossing operations. Lithium stearate can be used as a non-toxic substitute for barium soap and lead soap. Lithium stearate can also be used in conjunction with phosphatidic acid plasticizers. Lithium stearate can also be used as an external lubricant, suitable for nylon, phenolic resin, and rigid polyvinyl chloride (the maximum amount is 0.6 parts). In addition, lithium stearate is used to produce lithium-based grease in lubricating oil, which is waterproof and impermeable for construction. Wait.
