Technical Document

Brief Overview

Stearic acid, also referred to as octadecanoic acid, is a prevalent and beneficial form of saturated fatty acid present in both animal and vegetable fats. It is a waxy white solid with the chemical formula of CH3(CH2)16CO2H and molar mass of 284.48 g/mol. These fats naturally comprise a blend of oleic acid, palmitic acid, and stearic acid, with commercial stearic acid being created from nearly equal amounts of oleic and palmitic acids. In its natural state, stearic acid can be found in mixed triglycerides alongside other long-chain acids, or as an ester of fatty alcohol. It's worth noting that animal fats generally have a higher concentration of stearic acid compared to vegetable fats.

Manufacturing Process

Fatty acids are used in the production of stearic acid, and the process of manufacture is determined by the type of raw material selected and the required quality of stearic acid. Different protocols are used according to these variables. Among the raw materials used most frequently in the synthesis of stearic acid are tallow and grease. There are two primary steps in the production process:

a. The first step is hydrolyzing the raw materials (oil or fat) to produce glycerin and fatty acids. The two products are subsequently divided.

b. The purification and separation of the fatty acid mixture are included in the second stage.
