Stearic acid

LASCARAY is one of the historical actors and specialists in the production and sales of stearic acid in Europe. Stearic acid, or stearin, is also called octadecanoic acid. It is a medium chain fatty acid, which is symbolized by the numbers 18: 0 or C18, to indicate that it has 18 carbon atoms and no double covalent bond: it is a saturated fatty acid. The different qualities of stearic acid are characterized by their composition (proportion of C18 (stearic acid) and C-16 (palmitic acid) which are its two main components): the higher the ratio of C18, the higher is the purity of the Stearic acid.

Applications :

100% from natural origin, the stearic acid is an ultra-versatile material found in many industrial uses. For example, it is very useful as a thickener or to give consistency to cosmetic preparations. It helps stabilize emulsions or act as a hardener for balms and soaps. It is also used as a wax of 100% natural origin, especially for the production of candles, a bio-sourced alternative to paraffin (which is of petroleum origin). Its white color is also very popular. LASCARAY sells it in solid form (beads or flakes). Our product is also available in liquid form (heated tanks trucks)
