:Octadecanoic acid, 12-hydroxy-, aluminum salt (3:1)
Description:
Octadecanoic acid, 12-hydroxy-, aluminum salt (3:1), commonly known as aluminum stearate, is a chemical compound that serves primarily as a thickening agent and stabilizer in various formulations. It is derived from the reaction of aluminum salts with 12-hydroxystearic acid, which is a fatty acid with a long hydrocarbon chain. This compound typically appears as a white powder and is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents, making it useful in applications such as cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and food products. Its unique structure imparts emulsifying properties, allowing for improved texture and stability in formulations. Additionally, aluminum stearate exhibits properties that can enhance the performance of coatings and plastics by providing improved viscosity and preventing sedimentation. Safety data indicates that while it is generally regarded as safe for use in regulated applications, appropriate handling and usage guidelines should be followed to minimize any potential health risks.
