What is Magnesium stearate ?

Magnesium stearate, also known as magnesium octadecanoate, is a fatty acid salt type anionic surfactant. The appearance is white fine powder with a slight special smell and a slippery feel. It is soluble in hot aliphatic hydrocarbons, hot aromatic hydrocarbons, and hot oils, but it is insoluble in alcohol and water. It can be decomposed into stearic acid and corresponding magnesium salt in case of strong acid. Magnesium stearate has good adhesion to the skin and good lubricity. It is used in powder products in cosmetics to improve adhesion and lubricity. Magnesium stearate can be used as a heat stabilizer for polyvinyl chloride. Its stabilization performance is similar to that of calcium stearate. It can be used in food packaging materials with zinc soap or calcium soap, but it is not widely used. Magnesium stearate can also be used as a mold release agent for plastic products, a raw material for cosmetic fragrance powder, emollient ointment, a powder mold for medical tablets, and a translucent paint flattening agent. The laboratory produces magnesium stearate by metathesis reaction of sodium stearate and magnesium sulfate. It can also be refined from a mixture of food-grade solid organic acids (stearic acid, palmitic acid) and magnesium oxide.

Application of  α-Lipoic Acid

The uses of magnesium stearate are as follows:
1. Magnesium stearate is used as both a stabilizer and a lubricant for plastics, for example as an internal and external lubricant in PVC hard products.
2. As an emulsifier in cosmetics.
3. Magnesium stearate is also used as a dry powder fire extinguishing agent.
