What is sodium Stearate? What is the chemical formula of sodium stearate?
Sodium stearate usually refers to sodium dodecanoate. The chemical structure of sodium stearate is Na (C18H35O2) that is (C17H35COO) Na, and its molecular weight is 306.46. The melting point ranges from 250°C to 270°C. The white powder is also known as lumps.
What purpose is sodium stearate useful?
Principal function of sodium stearate
1. Detergent: This ingredient is used to prevent foam from forming during soap washing (sodium Stearate is the primary ingredient of soap).
2. Emulsifier or dispersant used to improve the emulsification of polymer and antioxidant.
3. Corrosion inhibitors: have an impact on the packaging films made of polyethylene.
4. Cosmetics: shaving gel, transparent viscose, etc.
5. Glue: Use it first as a glue. Later, you can use it to stick on the paste paper
In cosmetics, sodium stearate can be used to make the appearance of a “sticky” texture. Other uses for sodium stearate includes dispersant in latex paint and emulsifiers; ink thickener.
Stabilizer, thickener, and dispersant for liquid cosmetics. FDA approved flavor additives; viscosity modifiers in gel perfume as well as lubricant for polycarbonate and nylon; lubricant as well as dust removal in rubber production.
In addition, sodium stearate can be a heat stabilizer in Polyethylene. It is extremely lubricant and has high processing capabilities. It has a synergistic effect when used with epoxy and zinc soap, which can improve thermal stability. When used together with lead salt and lead soap in the production of hard products this can boost the speed of gelatinization.
Polypropylene and Polyethylene also make use of sodium stearate to eliminate the negative effects of residual catalysts on the colour and the stability. It is used extensively to release and lubricate thermosetting plastics such as polyolefins and polyester reinforced plastics.
Sodium stearate soap formula
Five thousand years ago, humans began to use soaps that were similar to modern detergents. Initial rough soaps were produced from natural oils as well as alkaline materials (such as wood ash). To create soaps with more refinement, soap makers began to use pure fat acids as well as alkalis during the industrial revolution.
Sodium stearate is the most frequently used fatty acid salt in soaps today. Vegetable triglycerides made from coconut oil and palm oil are the most common sources of stearic acids raw substances. Tallow triglycerides made by animals are also common sources. Stearic acid as well as its stearic counterpart, stearic, derive their names from the Greek word for “tallow” (stear).
First, we must determine which ingredients are most vital to soap making:
1. Oil
The primary ingredient in the saponification reaction is oil. It is possible to use any vegetable or animal oil to create soap. However, olive oil (no flavor) is the best choice. Animal oil generally uses Lard since it is readily available and inexpensive.
2. Alkali (sodium hydroxide)
Alkaline water, an aqueous solution of that contains sodium bicarbonate is mostly used for catalyzing the saponification reaction. It is a reaction product of oil and creates sodium stearate. It is the soap that we utilize.
3. Water
It is not a carrier , and is used mostly as a carrier for reaction in the saponification reaction.
How do you make simple soap?
1. Create alkaline water first. Then , dissolve the sodium hydroxide in it and stir until you have alkaline.
2. You will need to perform an entire saponification reaction placing the alkali and oil in a glass or ceramic container that is fast.
3. Eliminate the sodium-stearate-based solid product of the saponification reaction as well as any other reactants.
4. After the soap has dried then place it in the mold and create soap.
Since sodium hydroxide solution is very alkaline and corrosive precautions must be taken when preparing it.
Is sodium Stearate beneficial for skin?
In comparison to other surfactants like sodium stearate, it is actually considered to be mild that is, it is less likely to cause irritation to skin. Since stearic acids are an oil that is common to fatty oils that is found in a variety of oils, there is no visible skin damage. While the proportion of animal fats are the most evident, particularly butter, it is lower than that of vegetable fats, but they exist. It is possible to convert stearic acids into the stearic compound. This makes it an extremely popular ingredient in cosmetics, lubricants, and other chemical raw materials. Cosmetics play a major role in lubrication, emulsification. Cosmetics with other stearic acid products are unlikely to cause skin irritation or harm when they fall within the acceptable range.
Does sodium stearate same as baking soda?
Bicarbonate of sodium is also known as baking soda. It’s a saponified form of stearic acid, regardless of whether it comes from tallow, Kokum butter, or stearic acids. It’s used to thicken gels and co-emulsifier. This is the most sought-after soap.
Is sodium stearate natural? Why can sodium stearate remove oil?
It is a vegetable soap that is made of coconut oil and palm oils. It is also known as sodium salt. It is made from the stearic acid (a naturally occurring fatty acids).
The sodium stearate form is a type of salt that is a powerful electrolyte. Stearic acid can be a very strong electrolyte because it has a high number of carbon-atoms. Organic matter that contains large quantities of carbon atoms could be insoluble in water but not in oil. Though sodium ions can be in the process of being ionized, the hydrophilic end of the remaining stearate group remain.
