Triple Pressed / Rubber Grade
Stearic Acid is a long-chain saturated fatty acid derived from renewable vegetable fats (Palm Oil). Ruvon offers premium Triple Pressed and Rubber Grades, characterized by excellent thermal stability, lubricating properties, and high purity. It is a critical activator in rubber vulcanization and a key texturizer in cosmetics.
Stearic Acid is a solid, white crystalline fatty acid. Commercially, it is a blend of Stearic Acid (C18) and Palmitic Acid (C16). The ratio of C18 to C16 determines the grade (Triple Pressed vs. Rubber Grade) and its melting point properties.
We supply grades tailored for Rubber Activation and High-End Cosmetic Emulsification.

In the rubber industry, Stearic Acid is indispensable. It does not cure the rubber itself, but it activates the curing system.
Activator and dispersing agent for carbon black in tire manufacturing.
Pearlizing agent in shampoos and thickener/emulsifier in creams (Vanishing Cream).
Acts as an external lubricant and heat stabilizer in PVC pipe processing.
Increases melting point and hardness of wax, improving burn time and opacity.
Used to harden soaps and give a creamy lather.
Raw material for producing Zinc Stearate, Calcium Stearate, and Magnesium Stearate.
Multi-layer paper or woven PP bags with inner liner.
Palletized jumbo bags for large scale rubber mixing plants.
Generally considered non-toxic, but dust can be an irritant.
Available in Triple Pressed and Rubber Grade. Best whiteness and heat stability.
