Barium Stearate

• Description: Barium stearate, white or slightly yellow amorphous powder, melting point>225℃, has a stimulating effect on the central nervous system, soluble in hot ethanol, Benzene, toluene and other non-polar solvents, insoluble in water and ethanol. After heating and dissolving in an organic solvent, it becomes a jelly when cooled and has water absorption in the air. No sulfide pollution. In case of strong Acid, it is decomposed into stearic acid and the corresponding barium Salt.
