PROPERTIES / APPLICATIONS :-
Magnesium Stearate is used in manufacture of tablets as a lubricating agent and disintegrating agent.

In petroleum industry , Magnesium Stearate is used as a gelling agent in the manufacture of superior quality greases . It is also used as a lubricant modifier and oxidation catalyst in treating oil wells .

In coating industry , Magnesium Stearate is used as a flatting , thickening and suspending agent in paints , varnishes , lacquers and as a hardner in enamels and varnishes .

In preparation of inks , use of Magnesium Stearate increases the pigment dispersion , retards or prevents the settling , increases viscosity and shortens the oil length of the pigment .

In rubbers , Magnesium Stearate serves as a softener , vulcanisation accelerator, mould release agent antiscorching agent . It reduces tackiness in the uncured rubbers . In resinized rubbers , it acts as an oxidation and hardening agent .

In PVC , Magnesium Stearate is used as an important heat stabiliser in conjunction with Barium , Cadmium , Calcium , Lead and Tin Stearates . In some cases, it can also be used as a plasticizer and internal lubricant in improving the processing characteristics of the plastics .

In the manufacture of face and body powders , Magnesium Stearate is used as a base because of its fine particle size , smoothness , property of adherence to body skin and water repellency .

In candles , Magnesium Stearate is used as a hardening agent .
