Potassium Stearate
Potassium stearate (C₁₈H₃₅KO₂) is a white powder or flaky solid that is soluble in water and commonly used as a surfactant and emulsifying agent in various industrial applications. It is the potassium salt of stearic acid, providing excellent emulsification, dispersion, and wetting performance in aqueous systems. As a non-lead and heavy-metal-free additive, potassium stearate supports environmentally friendly and regulatory-compliant formulations across multiple industries.
