3. Stearates Market The different types of stearates available in the market are calcium stearate, zinc stearate, sodium stearate, aluminum monostearates, and magnesium stearate, among others such as lithium stearate. Sodium stearate, among them, leads the market and is trailed by calcium stearate, which has excellent lubrication and releasing properties, making them perfectly suitable for rubber and plastic processing. Going forward, however, magnesium stearate will likely outpace all other products in terms of growth rate. Magnesium stearate finds application in the pharmaceutical industry as a lubricant and process catalyst during the formulation of tablets and dietary supplements. The prominent end users in the global stearates market are the plastic and rubber processing industry. This is primarily because of their use as anti-tacking agents to maintain consistent movement of the substrate in rubber processing. The building and construction sector also accounts for substantial demand as stearates are used as water repellants in cement and mortar and also accord hydrophobic properties to buildings.
