Palm-based stearic acid for global manufacturing
Timur Oleochemicals supplies palm oil based oleochemicals from Malaysia to buyers around the world. Our stearic acid range brings together rubber grade and triple pressed options for companies that need to connect product selection with technical approval and export purchasing.
Stearic acid is a saturated fatty acid used across soap, personal care, rubber, plastics, coatings, candles and chemical manufacturing. Depending on the grade and formulation, it can provide structure, assist processing or act as feedstock for stearates and other derivatives.
The familiar name is only the starting point. Commercial stearic acid often contains a combination of C16 and C18 fatty acids, and different grades can behave differently in your process. A bigger C18 number is useful when your specification calls for it; it is not a universal shortcut to a better product.

Technical screening
Stearic acid specifications buyers should compare
A useful comparison covers composition, processing behaviour and documentation. Request the current grade-specific technical data sheet before setting incoming quality limits.
| Parameter | Information to confirm |
|---|---|
| Product family | Stearic acid: rubber grade and triple pressed commercial grades. |
| Origin | Palm-based, vegetable-origin supply from Malaysia. Request the declaration for the offered product. |
| C18 / C16 profile | Confirm C18:0, C16 and other components, the assay method and contractual limits on the TDS and COA. |
| Acid & saponification values | Request the limits in mg KOH/g and the test methods used for your selected grade. |
| Iodine value | Review the specified limit and test method against your application’s unsaturation requirements. |
| Titre / congealing point | Use grade-specific values for handling and process planning. Do not substitute pure stearic acid’s melting point for a commercial blend’s titre. |
| Colour, odour & moisture | Set the required colour scale, odour expectations, moisture/volatile matter and any unsaponifiable limits. |
| Physical form | Beads or flakes within the range, subject to the grade and current offer. Confirm suitability for your dosing and melting equipment. |
| Chemical identity | Pure stearic acid: octadecanoic acid, CAS 57-11-4, formula C18H36O2, molecular weight 284.48 g/mol. Commercial mixtures require their own SDS identity. |
| Batch acceptance | Approve the written specification and review the representative COA; agree the lot-specific COA required with shipment. |
Customs and product registration details should follow the exact offered composition, current SDS and destination requirements. Request the export classification with your quotation.

Stearic acid applications across industries
Different buyers need different things from the same product family. Use the application guidance below to frame your enquiry, then qualify the offered grade against your formulation and production requirements.
01
Rubber & tire manufacturers
Rubber grade stearic acid is commonly used with zinc oxide in suitable vulcanisation systems. Compounders also evaluate it for processing, lubrication and filler dispersion. Share the elastomer, cure system and approved raw-material limits.
02
Cosmetics companies
Suitable refined stearic acid grades can help build body, viscosity and emulsion structure in creams, lotions and selected colour cosmetics. Compare colour, odour, fatty-acid distribution and the documentation required for your finished product.
03
Personal care manufacturers
From shaving products to cleansing systems, stearic acid can support texture and consistency in suitable formulations. Specify the product format and performance target so the grade can be assessed against your process.
04
Soap manufacturers
Stearic acid can contribute to bar hardness and structure and serve as a fatty-acid feedstock for soap. Match the C16/C18 profile and processing behaviour to your formulation; it is a different raw material from soap noodles.
05
Chemical distributors
Build a sourcing enquiry around the grades your customers actually require. Ask for product documents, physical form, bag construction, order quantity, container planning and repeat-supply arrangements for your destination.
06
Industrial chemical buyers
Manufacturers of plastics, coatings, lubricants, candles and chemical derivatives evaluate stearic acid as a processing aid or feedstock. Stearate and ester producers should define the required chain profile and analytical limits.
07
Pharmaceutical companies
Pharmaceutical enquiries need a material qualified for the intended role, with the required compendial and quality documentation. Tell us your standard and application so the availability of an appropriate supply can be checked.
08
Food manufacturers
Food-related enquiries require an expressly suitable grade and the documentation relevant to the destination and intended use. Specify your food standard and approval requirements when requesting technical and commercial information.
For food, pharmaceutical and personal care enquiries: specify the required standard and destination market. C18 content and the words “triple pressed” do not establish regulatory grade or finished-product suitability.

Answers for procurement teams
Stearic acid buyer FAQ
What is stearic acid?
Stearic acid, also called octadecanoic acid, is a saturated C18 fatty acid. Commercial stearic acid products can be blends containing different proportions of stearic and palmitic acids. That is why buyers should compare the full composition and technical specification.
What do C18-38%, C18-65% and C18-98% mean?
These grade labels refer to the stated C18 content or profile of a commercial fatty-acid product. Confirm whether the figure is a minimum, a typical value or a specified range, and ask for the analytical method. The number does not by itself establish cosmetic, food or pharmaceutical suitability.
How does triple pressed stearic acid differ from rubber grade?
Triple pressed grades are commonly considered where colour, odour and refinement matter. Rubber grades are selected against industrial compounding and processing needs. Both names cover commercial specifications that can vary by producer; use the actual TDS and COA to compare them.
Is Timur’s stearic acid palm-based?
Timur Oleochemicals supplies palm-based oleochemicals from Malaysia. Ask for the origin declaration and current product documents for the exact stearic acid grade offered to your company.
Can I buy stearic acid in beads or flakes?
Beads and flakes are listed within Timur’s stearic acid range. Confirm the current physical form, bag construction and availability for your chosen grade in the quotation.
Which documents should I request before ordering?
Start with the current technical data sheet, safety data sheet and a representative certificate of analysis. Confirm the shipment COA and any required origin, quality, sustainability or certification documents before final approval.
Are food and pharmaceutical grades available?
Send your intended use, destination and required standard so Timur can check an appropriate offer and its documents. Industrial or triple pressed grade labels alone do not establish food or pharmaceutical approval.
How do I get a bulk stearic acid price from Malaysia?
Send your preferred grade, target specification, application, quantity, destination port, packing requirements, Incoterm and delivery window. The quotation will confirm the offered material, current availability, MOQ, lead time and price validity.
