Is sodium stearate natural?

 Overview of Sodium Stearate

Sodium stearate is a chemically synthesized ingredient, not natural, but derived from the natural ingredient stearic acid, a saturated fatty acid that can be extracted from plant sources such as canola, palm, and sunflower oils . py solids have a slippery feel, have a fatty smell, and absorb water in the air.

Sodium stearate is white fine powder or block solid, smooth to the touch, has a fatty smell, and absorbs water in the air. The aqueous solution is alkaline due to hydrolysis, while the alcoholic solution is neutral. It is prepared by the interaction of stearic acid and sodium hydroxide. Widely used in the manufacture of cosmetics, detergents and lubricants. Commonly used in the production of food, ceramics, medicine, paper, rubber, glass, fuel, ink, etc., and also used as waterproofing agent, plastic stabilizer, and adhesive.

Application of sodium stearate

Cosmetic

Stearic acid is widely used in cosmetics, often as an emulsifier and thickener. However, these cosmetics are very sensitive to certain substances that reduce the efficacy of sodium stearate, such as acids, electrolytes and cationic surfactants. The mixture of sodium stearate soap and glycerin stearate can be used as an emulsifier for cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. By testing its effect, it is found that the ingredients of the mixture cannot be obtained alone. Sodium stearate has a protective effect on the skin and can be used in some skin ointments to prevent the solvent components in the cream from causing damage to the skin. In emulsified perfumes and cream hair dyes, sodium stearate can be used as an emulsifier. Sodium stearate soap and polylactic acid, vinyl vinegar plus dyes and pigments can be used to make lipstick and eye shadow pencils. Sodium stearate is used as a thickener and opacifier in shampoos. Sodium stearate-based cosmetic sticks, including strong summer fragrances (long sticks) and antiperspirant creams, are primarily made from stearic acid soap plus ethanol, flavorings, and deodorants. Sodium stearate cream is non-greasy; its film on the skin is non-greasy and is therefore the base of many cream products; the finish does not create an oily sheen. So it's the base of many creamy products; the finish doesn't give an oily sheen. So it's the base of many creamy products; the finish doesn't give an oily sheen.

Detergent

Sodium stearate is the main raw material for the manufacture of soap, and it is also suitable for the preparation of low-foaming or non-foaming detergents suitable for washing machines. It can also be used to make mixtures of water, ethanol, isopropyl alcohol, silicone and soap, as well as gel products for cleaning smooth surfaces. Stearic acid can also be used to make cleaners that are pyrolyzed from various surfaces. Sodium stearate is also used in preservatives and bleaching detergents.

Lubricant

Sodium stearate has many uses in the manufacture of oils and greases, such as in the preparation of lubricants for cold metal forming.

Sodium stearate can also be used to prepare low flash point hydraulic and lubricating oils with useful viscosity indices. Sodium stearate can be used with copolymers of acrylamide and sodium acrylate to stabilize cutting fluids for metals. The addition of sodium stearate also reduces the fluid resistance and initial shear stress of the drilling mud. Sodium stearate can be used as a lubricant for cold pressing of aluminium and aluminium alloys. The mixed oil containing sodium stearate is coated on the steel surface to facilitate the extrusion and drawing of the material. Zinc phosphate is usually applied to the metal surface before dipping the metal into an aqueous solution of sodium stearate and sulfonated tallow. When the steel is extruded in the environment of 900 ℃ ~ 1150 ℃, the traditional practice is to use glass wool or glass fiber lining as a lubricant between the billet and the mold. If sodium stearate is used as a foaming agent, the glass With wool as a lining, the adhesion of glass wool to the surface of formed metal products is significantly reduced. Sodium stearate can form dry film lubricants with lead disulfide. This lubricant can work more efficiently under high pressure conditions. At the same time, this dry film lubricant is waterproof and easy to use. Blending sodium stearate, aluminum stearate and magnesium stearate produces oils for roller and ball bearings. The composition of the lubricant is 0.1 sodium stearate,0.4 aluminum stearate, 0.1 calcium stearate, 0.15 zinc oxide, 0.05 talc, and 0.1 mineral oil. Sodium stearate can also be used as a lubricant for wire drawing and pressing, especially for dry drawing of ferrous wire.

Food

Sodium stearate can be used in the processing of baked pastries. Food is brighter in color and crispier in taste. Sodium stearate can also be used as an excipient in the production of fat-free, starch-free, low-glucose corn syrup, and as a base in the production of chewing gum.

Ceramic products

Mixing sodium stearate, phosphoric acid, sand, chromium and magnesium oxide produces ceramic glazes with stable rheology. This ceramic glaze coating has a lower firing temperature and thinner thickness for firing - beautiful, lightweight ceramics. Sodium stearate can also increase the mechanical strength of ordinary fineness cement. Sodium stearate can also be added to some air-porous, slow-hardening cement interior and exterior wall linings.

Pharmaceutical

Sodium stearate can be used as an emulsifier in aqueous emulsions, such as in the preparation of glycerol, olive oil emulsions. Sodium sulfate can also be used to produce stable, high liquefaction temperature castor oil gels that have significant effects on certain skin conditions and can cause dermatitis caused by industrial enzymes and certain chemicals. It has excellent protection. Sodium stearate is also used in the preparation of glycerin suppositories and in the manufacture of sterilized tablets for use in food processing equipment to control solubility. Sodium stearate is also used in toothpaste and is also used to treat local ulcers and other skin conditions. Sodium stearate can also be used as a dry lubricant in tablet molding.

Polymer

Sodium stearate has many applications in the production and processing of polymers and copolymers. Ethyl and methyl acrylate copolymers in low molecular weight vinegar, ketone, and alcohol solutions, when combined with sodium stearate, prevent them from flowing and make them toxic. Indoleamines are copolymerized with organic isocyanates in the presence of sodium stearate to form polyimide foams. The addition of sodium stearate improves the compressive strength and separability of the polyether vinegar mold. Sodium stearate can be used to produce antistatic polyethylene. It can also be used as a dispersant for polyethylene and vinyl acetate in water. Polyethylene containing large amounts of catalyst residues can be stabilized against UV-induced degradation by a non-corrosive stabilizer containing sodium stearate as the active ingredient. Sodium stearate can also be used to remove catalysts from polymers and to make refractory ethylene and propylene agglomerates. Sodium stearate can also be used to make microporous polypropylene filaments. Incorporation of sodium stearate soap produces polyvinyl acetate granules that prevent caking. Sodium stearate can also be used as an antioxidant component to stabilize the shape of polyisobutylene oxide. Sodium stearate has been used as an ingredient in non-toxic stabilizers for PVC. The polyvinyl chloride filler containing sodium stearate has the effect of stabilizing quality and improving performance. In the preparation of lead compounds, sodium stearate is also used as a stabilizer. Sodium stearate can be used to prepare foamed, flowable polyvinyl chloride powder to make a polyvinyl chloride emulsion with a particle size of 0.1 microns, which can be used for plastisol. Sodium stearate can also be used to improve the heat sealability of PVC tube sheets. Polyvinyl formal and polyvinyl butyral can be dissolved in a concentrated solution of sodium stearate without degradation, and dilution of the solution will not precipitate the polymer. Using sodium stearate as emulsifier, the kinetics of isothermal batch polymerization of styrene into polystyrene aqueous emulsion was studied. A mixture of polystyrene and sodium stearate is extruded through a nozzle and then washed with hot water to remove soap from the bar, producing fibers. This method is also suitable for making foamed polyethylene. Non-flying pigments for thermoplastics are made from sodium stearate and insoluble pigments. Sodium stearate soap can also be used as a coating for highly transparent calcium carbonate fillers and as a sufficient antifreeze for cellulose acetate butyrate plastics. Sodium stearate can also react with calcium chloride and zinc chloride in the presence of stearyl alcohol to form dense metallic soaps with good breaking strength. Can be used as lubricants and stabilizers in polymers. It can be prepared by a continuous process.
