Light stearate

Polymer compositions containing pentaerythritol are also used as secondary heat-, light-, and weather-resistant stabilizers with calcium, zinc, or barium salts, usually as the stearate, as the prime stabilizer. The polymers may be in plastic or fiber form (87—89). 

Sorbitan oleate and the monolaurate are pale yeUow Hquids. Palmitates and stearates are light tan soHds. Sorbitan esters are not soluble in water but dissolve in a wide range of mineral and vegetable oils. They are lipophilic emulsifiers, solubiHzers, softeners, and fiber lubricants that find appHcation in synthetic fiber manufacture, textile processing, and cosmetic products. Sorbitan esters have been approved for human ingestion and are widely used as emulsifiers and solubiHzers in foods, beverages, and pharmaceuticals. 

Water is extensively used to produce emulsion polymers with a sodium stearate emulsifrer. The emulsion concentration should allow micelles of large surface areas to form. The micelles absorb the monomer molecules activated by an initiator (such as a sulfate ion radical 80 4 ). X-ray and light scattering techniques show that the micelles start to increase in size by absorbing the macromolecules. For example, in the free radical polymerization of styrene, the micelles increased to 250 times their original size.

Scientists are currently using LB film assemblies as solutions to problems in diverse areas such as microlithography, solid-state polymerization, light guiding, electron tunneling, and photovoltaic effects. In the case of such films as Mg stearate, if a clean glass slide is dipped through the film, a monolayer is adsorbed on the downstroke. Another layer is adsorbed on the upstroke. Under careful conditions,... 

Lubricants are used in tablet preparation and include magnesium stearate, stearic acid and polyethylene glycol. They only comprise at most 1-2% of the tablet bulk so that their potential to interfere is slight, particularly since their chromophores are weak. The fatty acid lubricants can often be observed if analysis of a tablet extract is carried out by GC-FID. Tablet coatings are often based on modified sugar polymers such as hydroxypropylmethylcellulose. These coatings are used at about 3% of the tablet bulk, are water soluble and do not absorb UV light. 

Sodium, potassium, and calcium salts of ascorbic acids are called ascorbates and are used as food preservatives. These salts are also used as vitamin supplements. Ascorbic acid is water-soluble and sensitive to light, heat, and air. It passes out of the body readily. To make ascorbic acid fat-soluble, it can be esterified. Esters of ascorbic acid and acids, such as palmitic acid to form ascorbyl palmitate and stearic acid to form ascorbic stearate, are used as antioxidants in food, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. 

Butane from natural gas is cheap and abundant in the United States, where it is used as an important feedstock for the synthesis of acetic acid. Since acetic acid is the most stable oxidation product from butane, the transformation is carried out at high butane conversions. In the industrial processes (Celanese, Hills), butane is oxidized by air in an acetic acid solution containing a cobalt catalyst (stearate, naphthenate) at 180-190 °C and 50-70 atm.361,557 The AcOH yield is about 40-45% for ca. 30% butane conversion. By-products include C02 and formic, propionic and succinic acids, which are vaporized. The other by-products are recycled for acetic acid synthesis. Light naphthas can be used instead of butane as acetic adic feedstock, and are oxidized under similar conditions in Europe where natural gas is less abundant (Distillers and BP processes). Acetic acid can also be obtained with much higher selectivity (95-97%) from the oxidation of acetaldehyde by air at 60 °C and atmospheric pressure in an acetic acid solution and in the presence of cobalt acetate.361,558... 

Example 13.6. Sodium salts such as NaCl exposed to a hot flame of a Bunsen burner emit bright yellow light of the wavelengths 589.0 nm and 589.6 nm (so-called Na D-lines) which is used as a hint for the presence of sodium in analytical chemistry. When we observe the reflection of this light from a LB film made of barium stearate (n = 1.491) on a glass substrate (n2 1.52) it appears completely dark for a film thickness of about 100 nm.

Non dusting product forms have also been developed (322), due to the light and fluffy nature of the Ca Zn soaps (stearates).
