Sodium Stearate

Sodium Stearate

Overview

Sodium Stearate is a high-performance fatty acid salt derived from stearic acid, widely used for its excellent emulsifying, binding, dispersing, and stabilizing properties. It appears as a white to off-white powder or flakes with a characteristic soapy texture and offers reliable performance across multiple industrial applications. At CORE METCHEM, our Sodium Stearate is manufactured using ethically sourced, vegetable-based raw materials, ensuring consistent quality, safety, and compliance with applicable industry standards. At CORE METCHEM, Sodium Stearate is processed using controlled reaction techniques to achieve uniform composition, stable performance, and excellent functionality. It acts as an effective emulsifier, film former, suspending agent, binder, and viscosity modifier in applications such as paints, inks, personal care products, food additives, detergents, plastics, and rubber formulations. Our material conforms to stringent quality specifications and is suitable for both domestic and export markets.
