Potassium Stearate Market Opportunities, Key Players, Product Types and Growth Driving Factors to 2021

Global Potassium Stearate Market is expected to grow at a significant CAGR in the upcoming years as the scope, Product Types, and its applications are increasing across the globe. Potassium Stearate is a white, fine powder that has an unusual odor. It is mostly used as a cleansing agent. It is a metallic salt of fatty acids, also termed as soap. It mainly constitutes potassium and sodium. Two polar molecules and nonpolar molecules are readily attached to each other. The non-polar, long hydrocarbon chains are repelled by water and the salt end molecules are ionic (hydrophilic) water soluble.


It is used in a wide variety of skin care and hair care products, including face powder, eyeshadow, lipsticks, eyeliner, blushers, mascara, and foundations, and often used in the deodorants, perfumes, and skin care formulas and in hair. The type of fatty acid and length of the carbon chain, and by the alkali employed the soaps vary according to its composition. The fatty acids with the long chains are insoluble. The hard soaps are formed when sodium hydroxide is used as the alkali, and Potassium hydroxide produces soft soaps.


The metallic salts of fatty acid are used as herbicides, fungicides insecticides, and Algaecides. In the insect cell membranes, the lipophilic carbon chains penetrate and terminate the lipoprotein matrix of this membrane. For the general-purpose of the food, additives are food grade soap salts. Aluminum, lead, zinc, magnesium, calcium and the other metals are used in place of sodium or potassium for soaps to be used in the industry.
