Magnesium Stearate Applications

This product can be used as the thermal stabilizer for PVC, the raw material of cosmetics, flour, soothing ointment and medicine tablet (forming agents, emollients); it can be applied to the bakelite powder to make it be lubricant, bright and transparent; it can also be applied to paint industry for being used as transparent flatting agents. The metal soaps for being used as a PVC stabilizer are mostly the high-grade fatty acid salt of cadmium, barium, calcium, zinc and magnesium. Forming groups belong to the salts of stearic acid and lauric acid. The performance of the metal soaps stabilizers is different with different types of metals and acid groups with the generally principles being as follow: Heat resistance: cadmium, zinc soap has an excellent heating resistance during the initial period; barium, calcium, magnesium and strontium soap have a long-term heat resistance with lead soap existing in the middle. Weather resistance: cadmium, zinc, lead, barium and tin soap are better. Workability: lead and cadmium soap have excellent lubricating property but acid radicals is also very influential to the lubrication. For the same kind of metal, it is better as aliphatic than the aromatic group. For aliphatic acid radical, longer molecular chain will also have a better lubrication property. It is widely used in food, pharmaceuticals, paints, plastics, rubber, textiles, etc. Barium, calcium, magnesium, strontium soap has a poor lubrication property but with excellent gelling property. Plate-out property: barium, calcium, magnesium, and strontium soaps are also prone to have plate-out phenomenon while zinc, cadmium and lead soap are less prone to get plate-out issue with longer molecular chain fatty acid soaps having more severe plate-out problem as well as more severe blooming issue. Lead and cadmium soap have high toxicity together with sulfide pollution. In the non-toxic formulation, people mostly apply calcium and zinc soap; sulfide contamination resistant formula more barium and zinc soaps. Magnesium stearate can be regarded as being non-toxic, the United States, Germany and Japan allow it to be applied to products being contact with food. However, it doesn’t have wide application to be applied as PVC heat stabilizers. In China and some other countries Pharmacopoeia, there are always records of this specie. The pharmacopeia has also made provisions on the magnesium content, moisture, heavy metals, iron, sulfate and chloride content.
