What exactly is lithium-stearate? It’s also known by the name lithium octadecate. This white powdery compound is stable at low temperatures and high pressure. Water and ethanol are slightly more solubiles than stearate. Ethanol solubility in water is 0.04g/100ml. Stearic acid and its corresponding lithium salts are formed when strong acids break down. They are insoluble when ethyl alcohol, mineral oil. They are formed in mineral oil as colloids.
Specifications of lithium Stearate
1.No curing or coking is required to maintain adequate lubrication.
2. Extreme pressure resistance and high bearing capacities can help reduce wear over the long term.
3. High oxidation stability, resistance to rust, water and low temperature fluidity.
4. Longer service lives can be achieved than other products of similar temperature by increasing the number of times.
The preparation method for lithium-stearate
10g of stearic Acid was dispersed in 100mL 95%ethanol. Next, it was titrated using 0.5mol/L Lithium Hydroxide Ethanol Solution (if the lithium hydroxide solution is not fully soluble in ethanol then water can also be added). Phenolphthalein was used to indicate. Once the reaction had reached an equivalent level, the precipitated sodium stearate soot was removed and filtered. You can make a purified product by adding 95% of ethanol to the crude product.
As a high temperature lubricant, lithium stearate can be used.
This grease can be used for multipurpose purposes, including equipment operating at high temperatures, medium speed and heavy load, as well as the lubrication and maintenance of many rolling parts such as fan bearings and fan bearings.
Other uses of lithium-stearate
You can use lithium stearate as a heat stabilizer to protect transparent products. This product has excellent transparency and doesn’t leave behind a white cloud when combined with a plasticizer made from phthalic acid. Because lithium stearate can be easily melted in ketones and has less impact on the embodying operation than some other stearates. The non-toxic alternative to barium soap or lead soap is lithium stearate. The phosphatidic acid polymerizers can be mixed with lithium stearate. You can use lithium stearate as an external oil lubricant for nylon, hard polyvinylchide, and phenolic resin (maximum dose 0.6). Additionally, lithium stearate has the ability to be used for anti-seepage and waterproof constructions.
