Description

Copper(II) stearate is an inorganic compound that consists of copper chloride and stearic acid. It has a reactive functional group, a copper complex, and a metal-metal bond. Copper(II) stearate is used as an ingredient in cosmetics to enhance the color stability of pigments, such as iron oxides, titanium dioxide, and zinc oxide. The particle size of the compound can be adjusted by controlling the ratio of copper chloride to stearic acid. Copper(II) stearate has been shown to have good chemical stability at high temperatures and is not affected by boron nitride or calcium stearate. Activation energies for the formation of copper(II) stearate are found at about -4.8 kJ/mol for copper chloride and about -5.6 kJ/mol for stearic acid. It also exhibits electrochemical impedance spectroscopy properties with a higher resistance than other metal salts with similar functional groups
