Application:
Stearic acid is a saturated fatty acid commonly found in animal and vegetable fats. In glove manufacturing, it can act as a lubricant, reducing friction between the glove material and the manufacturing equipment. It can also serve as a release agent in glove manufacturing. It is applied to moulds or surfaces to prevent the gloves from sticking during the curing or demoulding process.
