Stearic acid, Stearin organic product derived from fats. Consists of stearic acid mixed with palmitic, oleic acids and other Hard, translucent mass, oily to the touch, MP 53 to 65°C (depending on grade), density 0.92 g/cm3 (20°C). Get stearin distillation hydrolysates of animal fats (with subsequent crystallization and extraction) or by hydrogenation of unsaturated fatty acids of vegetable oils. Used in soap-making, paper, rubber, textile industry, for the manufacture of candles.
Stearic acid (trivial name), semiluxury or n-octadecanoic acid, CH3(CH2)16COOH, monocarboxylic acid of the aliphatic series - white crystals, insoluble in water and diethyl ether.
Stearic acid is one of the most widespread nature of fatty acids. Comes in the form of glycerides in the composition of lipids, particularly triglycerides (fats) of animal origin, the last function of the energy depot. Synthesized from palmitic acid by the action of enzymes - elongase responsible for the elongation of the aliphatic chain fatty acids.
The main industrial method of obtaining stearic acid is extracting it from the stearin - product of the hydrolysis of fats in the manufacture of soap.
Stearin is widely used in the cosmetic industry: sodium stearate is one of the main components of soap, she stearic acid is found in many cosmetics. Also used as a component of a grease.
