Stearic acid ( / ˈstɪərɪk / STEER-ik, / stiˈærɪk / stee-ARR-ik) is a saturated fatty acid with an 18-carbon chain. [ 9] The IUPAC name is octadecanoic acid. [ 9] It is a soft waxy solid with the formula CH3(CH2)16CO2H. [ 9] The triglyceride derived from three molecules of stearic acid is called stearin. [ 9]
Sodium stearate ( IUPAC: Sodium Octadecanoate) is the sodium salt of stearic acid. This white solid is the most common soap. It is found in many types of solid deodorants, rubbers, latex paints, and inks. It is also a component of some food additives and food flavorings. [ 1]
Grease is a solid or semisolid lubricant formed as a dispersion of thickening agents in a liquid lubricant. Grease generally consists of a soap emulsified with mineral or vegetable oil . A common feature of greases is that they possess high initial viscosities, which upon the application of shear, drop to give the effect of an oil-lubricated ...
Sodium dodecyl sulfate(SDS) or sodium lauryl sulfate(SLS), sometimes written sodium laurilsulfate, is an organic compoundwith the formulaCH3(CH2)11OSO3Naand structure H3C−(CH2)11−O−S(=O)2−O−Na+. It is an anionicsurfactantused in many cleaning and hygiene products. This compound is the sodium saltof the 12-carbon organosulfate.
Calcium stearate is a waxy material with low solubility in water, unlike traditional sodium and potassium soaps. It is also easy and cheap to produce, and exhibits low toxicity. These attributes are the basis of many of its applications. Related applications exist for the magnesium stearate. [ 1]
Carboxymethyl cellulose ( CMC) or cellulose gum[ 1] is a cellulose derivative with carboxymethyl groups (-CH 2 -COOH) bound to some of the hydroxyl groups of the glucopyranose monomers that make up the cellulose backbone. It is often used in its sodium salt form, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose. It used to be marketed under the name Tylose, a ...
Carbon compounds. Carbon compounds are defined as chemical substances containing carbon. [ 1][ 2] More compounds of carbon exist than any other chemical element except for hydrogen. Organic carbon compounds are far more numerous than inorganic carbon compounds. In general bonds of carbon with other elements are covalent bonds.
Let’s start with hazardous waste, because everyone needs a little time to get ready for that. Our next collection event will be on Saturday Sept. 21 from 8 - 11:30 a.m. rain or shine at Dallas ...
