Commercial stearic acid  is made by separation and hydrogenation of fats and is usually a mixture of stearic acid (C-18) and palmitic acid (C-16). It is solid at room temperature, has a fatty character and is one of the most common saturated fatty acids found in nature.

Stearic acid is used in the manufacturing of candles, surfactants and fatty alcohols. Furthermore, it finds various applications in the rubber, lubricant and textile industry as well as in the production of EBS waxes, fatty amines and paper chemicals. For a long time already, Baerlocher is using stearic acid to produce metal soaps and additives for the plastics industry. We can also offer RAL conform and RSPO MB products on demand.
