Overview of Lithium Stearate
Lithium stearate is a chemical, also known as lithium octadecate, white powder or colorless crystals. Density: 1.025 g/cm3. Melting point: 220.0-221.5°C. Stable under normal temperature and pressure. Slightly soluble in water and ethanol, the solubility in water is 0.09g/100ml, and the solubility in ethanol is 0.04g/100ml. Lithium stearate is decomposed into stearic acid and the corresponding lithium salt in the presence of strong acid. Insoluble in ethyl acetate and mineral oil. It forms colloids in mineral oil.
It is used as a general grease and provides high water resistance. Because it can be used at high and low temperatures, lithium stearate is used in many industries, from automotive to heavy machinery and even aerospace. As a general purpose grease, lithium stearate is also used as a stabilizer in the cosmetic and plastic industries. Due to its properties, the compound can also be used as a corrosion inhibitor in petroleum.
Lithium stearate has good stability and reduces the overall cost of enterprises. Mainly used as PVC heat stabilizer, suitable for transparent products. Its good performance can reduce the comprehensive cost of enterprises.
Application of Lithium Stearate
Lithium stearate is widely used in high temperature lubricants.
Lithium stearate is used as a stabilizer in the plastics industry.
Lithium stearate is used in cosmetic oils, gels, crayons, emulsifiers and dispersants.
Lithium stearate is used as a corrosion inhibitor in the petroleum industry.
It can be used as a thickener for natural and synthetic oils.
It is beneficial to the manufacture of light metal molds.
It is a thicker and superior grease, ideal for high temperature applications.
It increases the melting point and enhances the elasticity of the microcrystalline wax.
Lithium stearate is more resistant to consistency loss because it has a higher melting point than traditional sodium and potassium soaps (22 °C vs. 140 °C).
It has amazing anti-rust and anti-corrosion properties.
While it's waterproof, lithium stearate actually works better in other types of environments.
This is a great sealant.
