Zirconium stearate is a metal-organic compound, a salt of zirconium and stearic acid with the chemical formula C
72H
140ZrO
8.[1][2]
The compound is classified as a metallic soap, i.e. a metal derivative of a fatty acid.[3][4]
Synthesis
[edit]Zirconium stearate is prepared by boiling stearic acid and sodium carbonate in water and then adding zirconium oxychloride solution.[5]
Also, zirconium stearate can be prepared by reacting zirconium nitrate and sodium oleate.[6]
Physical properties
[edit]The compound forms white powder.[7]
Uses
[edit]Zirconium stearate is used as a raw material for waterproofing materials and emulsion stabilizers.[8]
Also used as a flattening agent.[9]
