Uses and synthesis of Potassium stearate powder

Potassium stearate powder White to light yellow powder. Soluble in water, hot ethanol, slowly soluble in cold water, cold ethanol, and its aqueous solution is strongly alkaline to phenolphthalein or litmus; The solution is weakly alkaline in the presence of phenolphthalein. Potassium stearate is a kind of surfactant. Fiber softener. As an anionic surfactant, it is widely used in the combined curing system of acrylic rubber soap/sulfur. Commonly referred to as potash soap or soft soap, it is mainly used in creams and shampoos as emulsifiers and detergents. Potassium stearate powder has high emulsifying efficiency, but it is sensitive to hard water and can form calcium soap with hard water, which can make the emulsion deformed or destroyed. It is a calcium-sensitive emulsifier, so it should be paid attention to in the production process of cosmetics.
