Stearic Acid 

  • Appearance : Creamy white powder
  • Chemical Name : Octadecanoic acid
  • Chemical Formula : CH3(CH2)16COOH , (C18H36O2)
  • Packaging Type : In 25 kg bags

Uses 

Stearic acid is for several large long-chain fatty acids that are formed from fats and oils. Animal fats are presented in glyceride form, as are oils and some vegetable oils. These fats produce stearic acid after hydrolysis.

Stearic acid is a fatty acid commonly found in nature and has the general chemical properties of carboxylic acids. Almost all kinds of fats and oils contain a certain amount of stearic acid, with animal fat content relatively high. For example, when the content of vegetable fat, the value in tea oil is 0.8%, palm oil is 6%, while the content in butter can be as high as 24%. However, the content in cocoa can be up to 34%.

There are two important approaches for the industrial production of stearic acid, namely fractionation and compression. Add decomposition agent to hydrogenated fat and then hydrolyse to give crude fatty acid, followed by washing with water, distillation, bleaching to obtain finished products with glycerol as a by-product.

Most domestic producers are used in the production of animal fat. Some production technology, plastic processing and high temperature will result in the omission of fatty acid distillation, which instantly produces a stimulating odour. This odour is non-toxic, but will have a certain impact on working conditions and the natural environment. Most imported form of stearic acid takes vegetable oil as raw material, the production processes are more advanced; the produced stearic acid has stable performance, good lubricating property and less odour in application.

Uses

  • Used as emulsifier in pharmaceutical and cosmetic industry.
  • It is used as auxiliary material in textile.
  • Used as accelerator and softening activator in rubber.
  • It is used in candle making and crayon making.
  • It is used to harden soap.
  • It is used to cover metal powders such as aluminium and iron in fireworks production. Thus, it prolongs the waiting period of the material by preventing oxidation.
  • It is used together with glucose in confectionery to provide hardening.

Glycine

Glycine (symbol Gly) is an amino acid that has a single hydrogen atom as its side chain. It is the simplest amino acid with the chemical formula NH2 - CH2 - COOH (since carbamic acid is unstable). Glycine is one of the proteinogenic amino acids. It is encoded by all codons starting with GG (GGU, GGC, GGA, GGG).

It provides strength for your muscles, skin, cartilage, blood, bones and ligaments. Collagen supplementation has been shown to benefit skin health, relieve joint pain and prevent bone loss. Therefore, it is important that you get enough glycine to support your body's collagen production.
