Stearic Acid

Stearic acid is widely used in Home Care, Industrial Care, and Institutional Care (Cleaning and Sanitation) products as a surfactant and emulsifier in detergents and cleaning agents. In industries like paint & coatings, oil & gas, plastic & rubber, and construction, it acts as a thickener, stabilizer, and lubricant, improving product performance and handling. In the animal feed & animal care industry, stearic acid is used as a source of fatty acids to enhance energy content and improve animal health. In the food, flavor, and beverage industry, it serves as an emulsifier and stabilizer, helping to blend ingredients and maintain consistency in products like margarine and confectionery.
