Lithium Stearate (CAS 4485-12-5) Overview

Lithium stearate, a white crystalline powder with the chemical formula LiO₂C(CH₂)₁₆CH₃, serves as a versatile metal soap widely used in high-temperature lubricants, plastics stabilization, and cosmetics. Its CAS registry number is 4485-12-5.

Technical Specifications & Comparative Analysis

Industrial & Commercial Applications

1. High-Performance Lubricants

As a thickener in lithium-based greases, it enhances mechanical stability in automotive and aerospace components under extreme temperatures.

2. Polymer Additives

Acts as an acid scavenger in PVC production, preventing degradation during processing at 180-220°C.

3. Cosmetic Formulations

Provides texture control in antiperspirants and creams due to its non-toxic, skin-friendly properties.
