Magnesium stearate, also known as magnesium stearate, is a fatty acid salt type anionic surfactant with a white fine powder appearance, a slight odor, and a sense of smoothness. Soluble in hot fatty hydrocarbons, hot aromatic hydrocarbons, and hot fats, but insoluble in alcohols and water. It decomposes into stearic acid and corresponding magnesium salts when exposed to strong acids. Magnesium stearate has good adhesion to skin and good lubricity. It can be used in powder Chemicalbook products in cosmetics to improve adhesion and lubricity. Magnesium stearate can be used as a heat stabilizer for PVC. Its stability is similar to that of Calcium stearate. It can be used in food packaging materials together with zinc soap or calcium soap, but its application is not widespread. Magnesium stearate can also be used as a release agent for plastic products, a cosmetic powder, a raw material for skin creams, a powder mold agent for pharmaceutical tablets, and a translucent matting agent for paints. | ||
