Metallic stearates are derivatives of stearic acid. They have unique properties that are highly valued by various industries including the plastics, rubber, coating, cosmetics, toiletries, pharmaceutical and food industries.

They exhibit excellent lubricating and dispersing properties, and stabilising, hydrophobic and foam inhibiting effects. Calcium stearates, Magnesium stearates and Zinc stearates are commonly used for their lubricating and stabilising effects in a wide range of thermoplastics. 

In the cosmetics, toiletries and pharmaceutical industries, hydrophobic properties of metallic stearates help to prevent cosmetics and pharmaceutical products from absorbing moisture, which will result in agglomeration. With their outstanding properties, metallic stearates are not only well accepted in traditional applications but have also met growing demands in other industries.
