What is Stearamide?
Stearamide is a chemical compound derived from stearic acid, which is a common fatty acid. It is primarily used in industrial applications as a lubricant, release agent, or antistatic agent. Stearamide can be sourced from either animal fats, such as those from cows, pigs, and sheep, or from plant oils, such as palm oil or coconut oil. Its applications are mainly seen in the manufacturing of plastics, rubber, and other synthetic materials, rather than in food products.
