Sodium stearate(Cat No.:R071357)is a white, odorless solid composed of sodium and stearic acid, commonly used as a surfactant, emulsifier, and thickening agent. It is the primary component in many solid deodorants, soaps, and personal care products due to its foaming and cleansing properties. In pharmaceuticals, it functions as a lubricant in tablet manufacturing. Sodium stearate is also utilized in rubber and plastic processing as a stabilizer and release agent. Generally regarded as safe, it should be handled with standard hygiene precautions to prevent dust inhalation or skin irritation in concentrated forms.
