Description
Magnesium stearate is the magnesium salt of stearic acid (C36H70MgO4), widely used across various industries. The product is supplied as a white powder with 99% purity and an 80 mesh particle size. It is insoluble in water and alcohol. Key technological properties of magnesium stearate include its ability to prevent clumping in powder-based products by coating individual particles, thus preventing them from sticking together. This property also makes it an effective lubricant. It is utilized as an emulsifier, binder, thickener, anti-caking agent, lubricant, release agent, and antifoaming agent. For purchasers, it is important to consider the product specification, its physicochemical properties such as insolubility in water, and confirmation of compliance with international quality standards. Product stability and its functionality in various formulations are key aspects to ensure the quality of the final products.
Applications
Used in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries as a lubricant, anti-caking agent, emulsifier, and binder.
