Stearic Acid Triple Pressed

Triple-pressed stearic acid is a purified fatty acid used as an emulsifier, stabiliser, thickener, and lubricant in cosmetics (soaps, creams, shaving creams), candles, detergents, plastics, and pharmaceuticals, improving texture, consistency, and product stability while preventing oil/water separation.

Its high purity makes it ideal for creating smooth, consistent textures in personal care products and acting as a protective coating or binder in other applications like fireworks and coatings. Stearic Acid Triple Pressed

Key Uses by Industry:

Cosmetics & Personal Care:
Thickener and stabilizer in lotions, creams, and shampoos.
Creates lather and firm texture in shaving creams and bar soaps.

Hardener, lubricant, and wax modifier.
Detergents & Soaps:
Emulsifier and thickener.

Pharmaceuticals:
Emulsifier, stabilizer, and lubricant in various formulations.
Industrial:
Lubricant in metalworking and plastics.
Coating agent for metal powders in fireworks to prevent oxidation.
Binder and softener in rubber manufacturing.

Food (Indirect Uses):
Used in producing emulsifiers and coatings for food packaging, candies, and fruits to prevent moisture loss.

Why Triple-Pressed?
This refinement process removes impurities, resulting in a higher purity, consistent white solid ideal for sensitive formulations where purity and specific performance are critical, unlike standard stearic acid.
