High-C18 vegetable stearic acid
A defined grade for confident purchasing
Stearic Acid Triple Pressed C18-90% Min is a high-C18 saturated fatty-acid grade produced from vegetable oils. Also known as stearic acid or octadecanoic acid, it is selected when a buyer needs at least 90% C18 chain content together with a controlled fatty-acid profile. It can serve as a consistency builder, processing aid, lubricant, release aid and raw material for downstream stearates, esters and other chemical derivatives.
Timur Oleochemicals supplies palm-based stearic acid from Malaysia to manufacturers, chemical distributors, cosmetics and personal-care companies, soap producers and industrial chemical buyers worldwide. Our job is practical: understand your application, match the offered material to your target, confirm current documentation and coordinate packing, price, loading and shipment details.
In creams and selected personal-care formulations, stearic acid can support structure, viscosity and emulsion stability. Soap makers evaluate it for bar hardness and consistency. Industrial users source high-C18 stearic acid for metallic stearates, plastics, rubber compounds, coatings, lubricants, polishes, candles and chemical preparations. Suitability always depends on the complete formulation, process conditions and required regulatory grade. Chemistry is useful; chemistry with the right paperwork is rather more useful.

Numeric limits should be published only after verification against Timur’s current C18-90 TDS.
Application fit
Where C18-90 stearic acid is evaluated
The functions below are formulation starting points, not blanket approvals. Manufacturers should complete compatibility, regulatory and production trials for the exact offered grade.
Cosmetics & personal care
Evaluated as a consistency builder, thickener and co-emulsifier in selected creams, lotions, cleansers, shaving products and colour cosmetics.
Soap & detergents
Used to support hardness, structure and processing in bar soap and as a fatty-acid raw material in suitable surfactant and detergent systems.
Chemical distribution
A defined high-C18 option for distributors whose customers need consistent identity, qualification documents and export-ready packing.
Metallic stearates & esters
Used as feedstock for calcium, zinc, magnesium and other stearates, plus selected esters, fatty amines and specialty derivatives.
Plastics, rubber & coatings
Evaluated as a lubricant, release aid, dispersing aid, process aid or chemical intermediate in polymer, elastomer and coating systems.
Candles & wax systems
Can modify hardness, opacity and handling in suitable candle or wax formulations; production trials should determine dosage and performance.
Pharmaceutical manufacturing
May be considered as an excipient or processing aid only when the exact offered grade meets the required compendial and quality documents.
Food & industrial uses
Food use requires explicitly qualified food-grade documentation. Other uses include polishes, lubricants, paper, textiles and release systems.

From RFQ to shipment
Packing, price and export details
Stearic Acid Triple Pressed C18-90 is commonly quoted in 25 kg bags. Final bag construction, palletisation, MOQ, container loading, lead time and shipment window depend on the offered producer, current availability and destination requirements. Commodity pricing and vessel schedules move, so a complete RFQ gets you a useful answer faster.
Timur Oleochemicals can coordinate international B2B supply from Malaysia under the agreed Incoterm. Your formal quotation should identify the exact grade, origin, packing, quantity, price basis, validity and planned shipment period.

- Company and contact — legal company name and buyer details
- Quantity — trial need, order size or annual forecast
- Destination — delivery city or discharge port and country
- Application — end use and required grade or standard
- Target specification — TDS, approved sample or benchmark brand
- Commercial terms — preferred packing, Incoterm and delivery window
Grade selection
Choose by specification, not by a bigger number
Higher C18 content is not automatically the best commercial choice. The right grade is the one that meets your process, finished-product and regulatory requirements without paying for purity you do not need.
| Grade family | Typical buyer need | Qualification focus |
|---|---|---|
| C18-90% Min | High-C18 raw material for defined formulation or derivative requirements. | Full chain distribution, titre, iodine value, colour, form and current lot documents. |
| C18-98% Min | Tighter C18 content for applications that specifically require a higher-purity profile. | Verify that the process benefit justifies the grade and cost difference. |
| Other triple pressed grades | Applications whose approved specification permits a broader palmitic/stearic distribution. | Match the actual TDS to the formula, not the informal grade nickname. |
| Rubber grade | Rubber-processing applications with their own composition and performance targets. | Do not substitute solely on CAS number; approve the complete specification. |
Buyer questions
Stearic Acid C18-90 FAQ
Short answers for initial sourcing. The current quotation, TDS, COA and SDS govern the supplied product.
What does C18-90% Min mean?
It indicates at least 90% C18 fatty-acid content, principally stearic acid. Request the analytical method and complete fatty-acid distribution on the current TDS and COA rather than relying on the grade name alone.
What are the CAS number and HS code?
Stearic acid is commonly identified by CAS 57-11-4 and EC 200-313-4. Timur lists HS code 3823.11.00 for stearic acid; the importer should confirm the destination-country tariff classification.
Is Timur’s C18-90 stearic acid vegetable based?
The offered line is palm-based and of vegetable origin. Ask for the current origin and animal-origin statements for the exact producer, product and shipment being quoted.
Is it supplied in beads or flakes?
Commercial stearic acid can be supplied in beads or flakes. Confirm the current form in Timur’s quotation before approving feeding, conveying, storage or melting arrangements.
Can I request TDS, COA and SDS before ordering?
Yes. Include your company, application, target specification, destination and quantity so Timur can provide the documents relevant to the offered supply and qualification stage.
Is C18-90 suitable for cosmetics or personal care?
It is commonly evaluated for structure, viscosity and co-emulsification in suitable formulations. The manufacturer must qualify the exact product for formula compatibility, safety, quality and destination-market cosmetic requirements.
Can it be used in food or pharmaceuticals?
Only an explicitly qualified food or pharmaceutical grade should be approved for those uses. Request the exact compendial, food-safety and regulatory documents required in your destination market.
How do I get a bulk price from Malaysia?
Send your quantity, destination port, application, target specification, packing preference, delivery window and Incoterm. Timur will confirm the current product, documentation, MOQ, lead time and commercial offer.
