Does stearic acid affect the chemistry and technology of rubber compounds?

Recent development in properties research of stearic acid (SA) and its influence on the chemistry and technology of rubber compounds is reviewed. The stearic acid is involved in almost all rubber compounds. It is used in relatively low amounts (up to 3.0 phr) but has a multifunctional effect on their properties and processing.

How stearic acid is produced?

Firstly, raw materials (fat or oil) are hydrolyzed to produce a mixture of fatty acids and glycerin, followed by the separation of the two products. Purification and separation of fatty acid mixtures. Palm chemicals is a global supplier, wholesaler and trader of stearic acid.

What stearic acids are available?

We offer a range of stearic acids, varying by purity, iodine value, and titer options. Our broad portfolio contains EMERSOL® by Emery and Vantage’s VSTEARIN™, as well as a line of private label stearic acids in a variety of forms designed to meet the diverse, evolving needs of the marketplace.

What is stearic acid?

Stearic acid is a saturated, straight chain fatty acid with an 18-carbon chain. It is derived from animal sources–typically tallow, and vegetable sources, such as palm stearin, which is ideal for use in natural formulations. We offer a range of stearic acids, varying by purity, iodine value, and titer options.
