Pratham Stearchem Tri Basic lead Sulfate is a white colored powder. It is the aluminum salt of stearic acid. It is insoluble in water, alcohol and ether. However, it is soluble in glycol, alkali, BTX, chlorinated hyrdocarbons. It dissolves well in vegetable oils on heating and if high concentration is used, on cooling gelling is seen. Aluminum Stearate is used as an emulsifier in cosmetics. It is also used as lubricant in polyamides and in thermosetting of plastics. Its use as a water repellent agent and hydrophobic agent makes it useful to be used as a waterproofing agent in paint industry. Aluminum stearate is used as thickening agent in production of varnishes and lacquers. It also finds use as an anticaking agent in petroleum products.
