Stearic Acid Triple Pressed C18-98% Min
Stearic Acid Triple Pressed C18-98% Min
Stearic Acid Triple Pressed C18-98% Min is an exceptionally high-purity, long-chain saturated fatty acid featuring an 18-carbon backbone. Sourced from renewable vegetable palm oil, it boasts a chemical formula of C₁₈H₃₆O₂ and is systematically designated as Octadecanoic acid.
This premium grade is obtained through the hydrolysis of vegetable and animal oils and fats, followed by crystallization or distillation. Pressing techniques are employed to isolate the solid saturated fatty acids from the liquid unsaturated fatty acids. The triple-pressed process refines the product to an ultra-high concentration, making it ideal for applications demanding the utmost purity.
Stearic Acid Triple Pressed C18-98 is utilized in the production of detergents, soaps, hair care products, and cosmetics such as bar soaps, shampoos, shaving creams, and candles. It also plays a vital role in helping products like bars of soap, candles, oil pastels, and hard candies maintain their shape.
