Stearic Acid Distric Grade – Rubber & Polymer Processing Aid

Stearic Acid Distric Grade white flakes for rubber processing

What is Stearic Acid Distric Grade?

Stearic Acid Distric Grade is a commercial-grade fatty acid supplied in white flake form, widely used across rubber, polymer, and chemical processing industries. It primarily consists of saturated long-chain fatty acids and is utilized as an internal lubricant, dispersing aid, and activator in compounding processes.

In rubber formulations, stearic acid plays a key role in improving the dispersion of fillers and additives while facilitating processing uniformity. It also acts as a co-activator in vulcanization systems, supporting the efficient functioning of accelerators and zinc oxide.

This grade is commonly used in tyre manufacturing, plastic processing, coatings, inks, and auxiliary chemical applications. Its controlled acid value and saponification value make it suitable for consistent batch processing. The flake form allows easy handling, dosing, and incorporation into formulations.

What Are the Common Names for Stearic Acid Distric Grade?

  • Stearic Acid
  • Octadecanoic Acid
  • Commercial Stearic Acid
  • Fatty Acid Blend (C16–C18)
  • Rubber Grade Stearic Acid
