How is potassium stearate produced?
Potassium stearate is the potassium salt of stearic acid fatty acid. It comes from the saponification of vegetable oils. Potassium stearate is derived from stearic acid, a by-product of the saponification process of vegetable oil. Potassium stearate is mainly used as a cleaning agent and emulsifier.
Overview of potassium stearate
Potassium stearate is W Haite crystalline powder. Easily soluble in hot water, insoluble in ether, chloroform and carbon disulfide. Its aqueous solution is strongly alkaline to litmus or phenolphthalein, and ethanol solution is weakly alkaline.
Soap commonly referred to in our lives is a mixture of fatty acid sodium obtained by saponification of various oils and sodium hydroxide. These fatty acid sodium are actually the general name of sodium stearate, sodium palmitate, sodium oleate, sodium linoleate and other fatty acid sodium.
If you do not use mixed oils during saponification, but only use a single stearic acid and sodium hydroxide (commonly known as caustic soda, caustic soda), sodium stearate soap will be obtained; if stearic acid and potassium hydroxide are used for saponification, the result will be hard Potassium Fatty Acid Soap. Compared with sodium soap, potassium soap has higher solubility and transparency and less irritation.
Potassium stearate application
Potassium stearic acid can be used as a hair, face and body cleanser, as well as a co-emulsifier, used in skin care products, cosmetics and hair styling products. At the same time, it has a good cleaning effect and can make the skin refreshed and clean.
