Properties of Potassium Stearate

Since 2022, Russia-Ukraine geopolitical conflicts have intensified, and global energy prices have risen sharply, with international natural gas prices hitting historic highs. As the most important transitional energy source in the transition from fossil energy to non-fossil energy, the share of natural gas in primary energy has increased from 14.6% in 1965 to 24.7% in 2020.  The global gas price indices showed a unilateral downward trend from 2018, bottomed out in 2020, and remained low for a long time. However, since July 2020, the global gas prices have gradually fluctuated upward, and the impact of geopolitical events made the Dutch TTF gas price even hit record highs repeatedly.

An analyst of a securities company believes that the core catalyst of this round of global gas market lies in the lack of investment in upstream oil and gas resources caused by long-term low prices. Since 2020, although the epidemic has led to a decline in demand, the decline in supply has been faster, resulting in a large inventory consumption. In 2021, demand will recover faster than supply (the supply-side is less sensitive to prices, which will be reflected in investment).  

As the world's two largest gas Potassium Stearate, Potassium Stearate Overview, Potassium Stearate Application, Potassium Stearate Suppliers, Potassium Stearate Price are also expected to change significantly.

Potassium Stearate Overview

Potassium stearate is W Haite crystalline powder. Soluble in hot water, insoluble in ether, chloroform and carbon disulfide. Its aqueous solution is strongly alkaline to litmus or phenolphthalein, and its ethanol solution is weakly alkaline.

The soap we often say in our lives is a mixture of sodium fatty acid and sodium hydroxide obtained by saponification of various oils. These fatty acid sodium are actually a general term for fatty acid sodium such as sodium stearate, sodium palmitate, sodium oleate, and sodium linoleate.

Properties of Potassium Stearate

Potassium stearate (CAS 593-29-3) is a fine white powder; soluble in hot water and alcohol.

 How is potassium stearate produced?

Potassium stearate is the potassium salt of stearic fatty acid. It is derived from the saponification of vegetable oils. Potassium stearate is derived from stearic acid, a by-product of the saponification process of vegetable oils. Potassium stearate is mainly used as cleaning agent and emulsifier.

Potassium Stearate Application

Potassium stearate is used as a hair, face and body cleanser and as a co-emulsifier in skin care, cosmetic and hair styling products. At the same time, it has a good cleaning effect, which can make the skin fresh and clean.

Potassium stearate is mainly used in cosmetics and skin care products as a surfactant, cleaning agent and emulsifier. The risk factor is 1, which is relatively safe and can be used with confidence. Generally, it has no effect on pregnant women. Potassium stearate does not cause acne.

 Potassium stearate is mainly used as cleaning agent and emulsifier. It can be used in many personal care and cosmetic applications. It is also used in certain rubber manufacturing and as a basis for textile softeners
