Aluminum Stearate CAS 637-12-7

Aluminum stearate is also known as aluminum octadecanoate, chemical formula (C17H35COO)3Al. molecular weight 877.35. pure product is white powder. Relative density 1.070, melting point 115°C. Impure product is light yellow powder. Insoluble in water, ethanol, ether, soluble in alkali, turpentine, mineral oil, petroleum, kerosene and benzene and other solvents. Can form crystalline pyridine complex. Decomposed into stearic acid and the corresponding aluminum salt when met with strong acid. Because of its good hygroscopicity and stability, aluminum stearate is often used as a wood preservative, which can effectively prevent wood decay and insect infestation.

1. Performance and use:

Aluminum stearate is a saline form of stearic acid used as a thickener and emulsifier, and to regulate the stability and suspension of a cosmetic formulation.

Aluminum stearate is used for waterproofing fabrics and for thickening lubricating oils. It is involved in the preparation of polyamides and thermosetting plastics. It is used as a waterproofing additive in cements and in light-sensitive photographic compositions. It acts as a gelling agent for alkyd paints, as a defoamer for oil drilling fluids and as a retarder for polysulfide dental impression materials. Further, it is used in greases, lubricants, cutting compounds, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. It serves as a flatting agent, as a defoaming agent in beet sugar and yeast processing. In addition to this, it is used as a water-repellent soap for natural stone surfaces.
