Description

Application
Stearic acid can undergo esterification in the presence of mesoporous solid acid catalysts to form methyl stearate.Due to its waterproof ability STA may be used to impart superhydrophobicity on various surfaces.STA may also be used in the preparation of stearic acid self-assembled monolayers.

Purpose
For R&D use onlynot for drug household or other uses.

General Description
Stearic Acid is used in the synthesis of surfactants and detergents due to the fatty acid component of its structure.
