Stearate
Stearate is a salt or ester of stearic acid, a saturated fatty acid with the chemical formula C18H36O2.
Stearates are generally safe for most people, but they can cause skin irritation in some people.
Here are some specific examples of stearates:
- Calcium stearate: Calcium stearate is a white powder that is used as a food additive, lubricant, and thickener. It is also used in the manufacture of plastics, paints, and inks.
- Magnesium stearate: Magnesium stearate is a white powder that is used as a food additive, lubricant, and thickener. It is also used in the manufacture of cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and plastics.
- Zinc stearate: Zinc stearate is a white powder that is used as a food additive, lubricant, and sunscreen. It is also used in the manufacture of cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and plastics.
Stearates are versatile and useful compounds with a wide range of applications.
