What is Lithium Stearate?
For pencils, small amounts of lithium Stearate can be used. It has a very low level of toxicity when administered orally. This makes it a good choice for cosmetics.
What purpose is lithium stearate useful for?
It is used to provide high water resistant and general-purpose grease. Lithium Stearate is versatile enough to be used at high or low temperatures. This makes it a popular choice in many industries, including the aerospace industry, heavy machinery industry, and automotive. The general-purpose grease lithium stearate also serves as a stabilizer in cosmetics and plastics. This compound is also a corrosion inhibitor in petroleum because of its properties.
Here are some applications for lithium stearate.
It can be used to thicken natural and synthetic oils.
It makes it possible to make lightweight metal molds.
It is a thicker, finer grease that is ideal for high-temperature applications.
It can raise the melting point of microcrystalline wax and increase its elasticity.
It is more resistant than other sodium and potassium soaps to losing consistency because of its higher melting point (22degC compared with 140degC).
It resists corrosion and rust well.
Lithium stearate is water-repellent but works well in all other environments.
This sealant is excellent.
What is lithium grease?
The invention of lithium grease occurred in the early 1940s. It's made of lithium hydroxide reacting in fatty acids. Modern lithium soaps are made from 12HSA (or triglyceride), and lithium hydroxide monohydrate in base liquid.
Grease is one the oldest lubricants that humans have used, dating back to 1400BC. It is a lubricant that reduces friction and acts as a seal. More than 90% use grease as alubricant.
It could be either mineral oil, synthetic fluid, or a combination of both. There are many fats that can be used to make lithium soap. The preferred oils are 12HSA (12-hydroxy stearate grease) and HCO (hydrogenated casting oil). Perhaps the most versatile multi-purpose grease ever invented is lithium 12-hydroxy stearate grease.
The water resistance of lithium grease is excellent (not as good than calcium), and it has excellent mechanical or thermal stability. The continuous operating temperature is 130°C (266°F), with a drop point of between 190 and 200°C. It is the most preferred bearing grease in almost every industrial field.
