Product Description

Product Description

Lithium Stearate

    Lithium Stearate is the lithium salt of stearic acid, a white, fine powder that belongs to the class of metal soaps. It is known for its high melting point, excellent water repellency, and good thermal stability. As a versatile chemical compound, it is most renowned for its role as a key thickener (gellant) in high-performance, multi-purpose lubricating greases, contributing to their stability across a wide temperature range. Additionally, it functions as an effective release agent, lubricant, and stabilizer in various industrial processes.

Application

Core Component in Grease Thickening

Processing Aid in Plastics and Polymers

Additive in Cosmetics and Personal Care

    The predominant and most critical application of lithium stearate is as a thickening agent in the manufacture of lithium-based lubricating greases, particularly lithium 12-hydroxystearate. These greases are characterized by their excellent water resistance, mechanical stability, and a broad operating temperature range (from approximately -20°C to over 150°C). They are widely used in automotive, industrial, and aerospace applications for bearings and general machinery lubrication.

    In the plastics industry, lithium stearate serves as a valuable internal and external lubricant and mold release agent. It is added to polymer compounds to reduce friction during processing (e.g., extrusion, injection molding), prevent sticking to metal surfaces, and improve the dispersion of pigments and fillers, thereby enhancing production efficiency and product surface finish.

    Due to its hydrophobic nature and smooth texture, it is used in cosmetic and personal care formulations such as powders, creams, and lipsticks. It functions primarily as a lubricant, binder, and stabilizer, helping to improve product consistency, provide water resistance, and offer a smooth application feel.
