Lithium Stearate is a premium metallic soap renowned for its exceptional thermal stability and superior water resistance in industrial applications. Our High-Purity Grade is specifically designed for the manufacture of high-performance lubricating greases.
Unlike other metallic soaps, it maintains its structural integrity at high operating temperatures, preventing the breakdown of lubricants in heavy-duty machinery. It features a fine particle size, allowing for easy dispersion in both mineral and synthetic base oils.
In the polymer industry, it serves as a highly effective internal lubricant and heat stabilizer for specialized plastics. Its unique chemical properties provide a low coefficient of friction, making it indispensable for high-precision manufacturing and automotive components.
SoleChem, an ISO 9001:2015 certified chemical supplier based in Türkiye, delivers Lithium Stearate (CAS 4485-12-5) to customers in more than 40 countries.
