Aluminum Stearate (C36 H71 Al O5) or Aluminum Di-Stearate is Wax like powder (metallic soap). We are manufacturing this via precipitation process using high quality stearic acid. During manufacturing, the particle size, shape, Bulk Density, and purity is closely controlled to ensure product quality & uniformity.
Aluminium Stearate exhibits relatively high solubility in hydrocarbon solvents (such as mineral spirits) when compared to other metallic Stearate. It is insoluble in water, alcohol and ether; but is readily soluble in benzene, acids and common solvents when hot.
Important Properties :
The important properties of our Aluminium Stearate, relevant to various applications are:
- Very Good gelling.
- Thickening Action.
- Excellent Water Repellence.
- Transparent Gel.
- Low oversize particles.
- Synergistic effect with other metallic Stearates..
