Factory Supply Butyl stearate, with the CAS number 123 - 95 - 5, is a commonly used organic compound. It has a molecular formula of C22H44O2. This product typically appears as a colorless to pale - yellow liquid or solid. It has a mild, characteristic odor. Butyl stearate is insoluble in water but soluble in many organic solvents such as ethanol, ether, and chloroform. The melting point of butyl stearate is around 24 - 27°C, and its boiling point is approximately 343°C. The density of this compound is about 0.857 g/cm³ at 20°C.
1. **Cosmetics Industry**: In the cosmetics field, Factory Supply Butyl stearate is widely used as an emollient and lubricant. It helps to improve the texture of creams, lotions, and ointments, making the products spread smoothly on the skin. It also forms a thin, protective film on the skin surface, preventing moisture loss and leaving the skin feeling soft and supple. For example, it is commonly used in hand creams, body lotions, and makeup products like foundations and lipsticks.
2. **Plastics and Rubber Industry**: It serves as a plasticizer and lubricant in the plastics and rubber manufacturing. By adding butyl stearate to plastics, the flexibility and processability of the materials can be enhanced. In rubber production, it helps to reduce friction between rubber particles during processing, improving the quality and performance of the final rubber products.
3. **Lubricant in Metalworking**: Factory Supply Butyl stearate can be used as a lubricant in metal - working processes. It reduces the friction between the metal tool and the workpiece, which can improve the surface finish of the metal parts and extend the service life of the cutting tools.
1. **Cosmetics**: When formulating cosmetics, the appropriate amount of butyl stearate should be added during the emulsification process. Generally, the addition amount ranges from 2% - 10% depending on the specific product requirements. It should be heated to a suitable temperature (usually around 60 - 70°C) to ensure uniform mixing with other ingredients.
2. **Plastics and Rubber**: In plastics and rubber production, butyl stearate is usually added during the compounding process. It can be mixed with other additives and polymers in a mixer or extruder. The recommended dosage is typically around 1% - 5% of the total formulation, but this may vary depending on the type of plastic or rubber and the desired properties.
3. **Metalworking**: As a lubricant in metalworking, butyl stearate can be diluted with appropriate solvents or mixed with other lubricant additives. It can be applied to the metal surface by spraying, brushing, or dipping, depending on the specific metal - working operation.
1. **Cosmetics Case**: A well - known cosmetics brand launched a new moisturizing hand cream. They added 5% of Factory Supply Butyl stearate to the formula. Through consumer feedback and market research, it was found that the hand cream had excellent spreadability and left the hands feeling moisturized and non - greasy. The sales of this hand cream increased by 20% within the first three months of its launch compared to the previous hand cream formula.
2. **Plastics Case**: A plastic manufacturing company used butyl stearate as a plasticizer in the production of PVC pipes. They added 3% of butyl stearate to the PVC compound. As a result, the PVC pipes had better flexibility and impact resistance. The production process became more stable, and the reject rate of the pipes decreased from 5% to 2%, significantly improving the production efficiency and product quality.
3. **Metalworking Case**: A metal - machining workshop used a lubricant mixture containing butyl stearate in the turning operation of stainless - steel parts. The lubricant effectively reduced the cutting force and heat generation during the process. The surface roughness of the machined parts was reduced by 30%, and the tool life was extended by 40%, which saved a lot of production costs.
