36H
70SrO
4.[3] The compound is classified as a metallic soap, i.e. a metal derivative of a fatty acid.[4]

Synthesis

A reaction of strontium hydroxide with stearic acid.[5]

Physical properties

The compound forms white powder. Insoluble in alcohol, soluble (forms gel) in aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons.[6]

Uses

Strontium stearate is used in grease and wax compounding.[6][7]

It is also used as a lubricant to improve the flow characteristics of polyolefin resins.[8]
