Usage
1.Dispersant; foaming agent; anticoagulant; emulsifier; stabilizer.
2.As an emulsifier, it can be used for cakes, with a maximum usage of 0.18g/kg.
3.Used as surfactants and fiber softeners.
Potassium stearate is a surfactant; a fiber softener. As an anionic surfactant, it is widely used in acrylic rubber soap/sulfur combined vulcanization systems. It is usually called potassium soap or soft soap and is mainly used in creams and shampoos as an emulsifier and detergent. It has a high emulsification efficiency, but is sensitive to hard water and can generate calcium soap with hard water, causing the emulsion to deform or destroy. It is a calcium-sensitive emulsifier, so it should be paid attention to during the production process of cosmetics.
