Potassium Stearate
Potassium stearate is a chemical substance with the molecular formula C18H35KO2 and molecular weight 322.57. It is a white powder, soluble in hot water or alcohols, and solutions are alkaline by hydrolysis. As an anionic surfactant, it is widely used in acrylate rubber Soap/sulfur vulcanisation systems. Anionic surfactants. Often referred to as potassium soap or soft soap, mainly used in cream and shampoo cosmetics, as emulsifiers and detergents.

Application:
Uses: leavening agent, foaming agent, emulsifier, stabilizer, use in cosmetic daily necessities: anionic surfactant.As an emulsifier and detergent, it is mainly used in creams and shampoo cosmetics.It has high emulsifying efficiency, but is
sensitive to hard water, can form calcium soap with hard water, deform or destroy the emulsion, and is a calcium-sensitive emulsifier.Widely used as anionic surfactants in acrylate rubber soap/sulfur curing systems. Anionic surfactants. Often called potassium soap or soft soap, mainly used in cream and shampoo cosmetics, as emulsifiers and detergents. It has high emulsification efficiency, but it is sensitive to hard water, and can generate calcium soap with hard water, which can change
or destroy the emulsion, and it is a calcium-sensitive emulsifier, so it should be paid attention to in the cosmetic production process.
