'''Sodium stearate''' is the [[sodium]] [[salt (chemistry)|salt]] of [[stearic acid]]. This white solid is the most common [[soap]]. It is found in many types of solid [[deodorant]]s, rubbers, latex paints, and inks. It is also a component of some food additives and food flavorings.<ref>Klaus Schumann, Kurt Siekmann, "Soaps" in ''Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry'', 2005 Wiley-VCH, Weinheim. {{DOI|10.1002/14356007.a24_247}}</ref>


==Use==

Characteristic of [[soap]]s, sodium stearate has both [[hydrophilic]] and [[hydrophobic]] parts, the carboxylate and the long hydrocarbon chain, respectively. These two chemically different components induce the formation of [[micelle]]s, which present the hydrophilic heads outwards and their hydrophobic (hydrocarbon) tails inwards, providing a lipophilic environment for hydrophobic compounds.The tail part dissolves the grease (or) dirt and forms the micelle. It is also used in the pharmaceutical industry as a [[surfactant]] to aid the solubility of hydrophobic compounds in the production of various mouth foams.


==Production==

Sodium stearate is produced as a major component of soap upon [[saponification]] of oils and fats. The percentage of the sodium stearate depends on the ingredient fats. [[Tallow]] is especially high in stearic acid content (as the [[triglyceride]]), whereas most fats only contain a few percent. The idealized equation for the formation of sodium stearate from stearin (the triglyceride of stearic acid) follows:


:(C<sub>18</sub>H<sub>35</sub>O<sub>2</sub>)<sub>3</sub>C<sub>3</sub>H<sub>5</sub> + 3 NaOH → C<sub>3</sub>H<sub>5</sub>(OH)<sub>3</sub> + 3 C<sub>18</sub>H<sub>35</sub>O<sub>2</sub>Na


Purified sodium stearate can be made by neutralizing [[stearic acid]] with sodium hydroxide.
