Zirconium stearate is a metal-organic compound, a salt of zirconium and stearic acid with the chemical formula C
72
H
140
ZrO
8
.[1][2]

The compound is classified as a metallic soap, i.e. a metal derivative of a fatty acid.[3][4]

Synthesis

Zirconium stearate is prepared by boiling stearic acid and sodium carbonate in water and then adding zirconium oxychloride solution.[5]

Also, zirconium stearate can be prepared by reacting zirconium nitrate and sodium oleate.[6]

Physical properties

The compound forms white powder.[7]

Uses

Zirconium stearate is used as a raw material for waterproofing materials and emulsion stabilizers.[8]

Also used as a flattening agent.[9]
