| Industry | Application | Process |
|---|---|---|
| Personal care | Emulsifier and thickener in soaps and detergents | Serves as the primary soap base component, reacting with oils and fats via saponification to deliver cleaning performance and foam stability |
| Plastics | Heat stabilizer and lubricant for polyvinyl chloride (PVC) | Added during processing to absorb HCl and prevent degradation, while enhancing resin melt flow and mold release |
| Cosmetics | Emulsifier and viscosity modifier in creams, lotions, and foundations | Blended with other ingredients to form stable emulsions through surface activity and adjust product texture |
| Food | Coating agent, emulsifier, and binder (e.g., for fruit coatings or food additives) | Applied by spraying or incorporation after dissolution to form protective films or improve food texture and processability |
| Pharmaceuticals | Lubricant and binder in tablets; emulsifier in ointments | Mixed with active pharmaceutical ingredients prior to tableting to improve powder flow, or incorporated into topical formulations to facilitate oil–water phase mixing |
| Rubber | Mold release agent and dispersing aid in natural and synthetic rubber processing | Added before compounding or vulcanization to reduce roll adhesion and promote uniform filler dispersion in the rubber matrix |
| Textiles | Component in fabric water-repellent and softening finishes | Applied to fabrics via padding or spraying to impart hydrophobicity and improve hand feel |
| Papermaking | Sizing agent to enhance water resistance and strength | Added to the pulp or applied as a surface size to reduce liquid penetration through its hydrophobic properties |
| Construction | Waterproofing agent and foaming agent in cement-based materials (e.g., lightweight concrete) | Incorporated during mixing to generate stable air voids or reduce water absorption, thereby improving material performance |
| Metalworking | Component in metal lubricants and polishing agents for wire drawing and rolling | Formulated as solutions or pastes and applied by coating or immersion to form a lubricating film on metal surfaces |
| Test Item | Common Test Method | Method Summary |
|---|---|---|
| Appearance | Visual Inspection | Place an appropriate amount of sample on a white background and observe its color, physical state, and presence of impurities. The product should be white powder or flakes, free from visible foreign matter. |
| Melting Point | Capillary Melting Point Method | Fill the sample into a capillary tube and gradually heat using a melting point apparatus; record the temperature range at which the sample completely melts. The melting point of sodium stearate typically ranges between 200–220°C. |
| pH Value | pH Meter Method | Stir to dissolve a 1% aqueous solution of the sample, then measure its pH using a calibrated pH meter. The normal range is usually 7.5–10.5. |
| Assay (Main Component) | Non-aqueous Titration (Perchloric Acid Titration) | Titrate sodium stearate in a non-aqueous medium (e.g., glacial acetic acid) with a standard perchloric acid solution. Calculate the active content based on the volume consumed. |
| Moisture (Loss on Drying) | Oven Drying Method / Karl Fischer Method | Oven method: dry the sample at a specified temperature until constant weight and calculate the percentage weight loss. Karl Fischer method is more accurate and suitable for trace moisture determination. |
| Heavy Metals | Sulfide Colorimetry / Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) | After digestion of the sample, react with hydrogen sulfide under acidic conditions to produce color, or use AAS to determine heavy metal contents such as lead, arsenic, and mercury. |
| Chlorides | Silver Nitrate Turbidimetry | Add silver nitrate to the sample solution; a white precipitate forms. Use turbidimetry to measure chloride ion content and control inorganic salt impurities. |
| Sulfates | Barium Chloride Turbidimetry | Add barium chloride under acidic conditions to form barium sulfate precipitate; quantify sulfate ion content by turbidity measurement. |
| Carbonates | Acid Reaction Observation | Add dilute hydrochloric acid and observe whether excessive bubbling (CO₂) occurs, indicating the presence of impurities such as excess sodium carbonate. |
| Iodine Value (Degree of Unsaturation) | Iodometric Method | Measures the content of unsaturated fatty acid residues in the sample, reflecting raw material purity. Lower iodine value indicates higher saturation and greater product stability. |
| Acid Value | Acid-Base Titration | Saponify the sample and back-titrate free fatty acids with standard alkali solution to calculate the acid value, indicating the level of free acid content. |
