CAS 555-36-2: iron tristearate
Description:Iron tristearate, with the CAS number 555-36-2, is a coordination compound formed by the reaction of iron ions with stearic acid, a long-chain fatty acid. This substance typically appears as a solid, often in a powder form, and is characterized by its hydrophobic nature due to the long hydrocarbon chains of the stearate ions. Iron tristearate is primarily used as a lubricant and stabilizer in various applications, including plastics and rubber manufacturing, where it helps to improve processing and reduce friction. Additionally, it can serve as a surfactant in some formulations. The compound exhibits thermal stability, making it suitable for high-temperature applications. Its solubility is limited in water but can dissolve in organic solvents, which is a common trait of metal fatty acid salts. Overall, iron tristearate is valued for its functional properties in industrial applications, particularly in enhancing the performance of materials.
