    Description

    This listing is for 4 pounds of EMERSOL 132 NF Stearic Acid.  In candle making, stearic acid is often added to wax to make it harder and because it has mold release properties. Because the stearic acid in this listing is so pure, when used as an additive in candles, it should produce a minimum of black smoke and/or unwanted odor.  If you are interested in using stearic acid for making soap, you should use a double pressed stearic acid instead because it will have a higher Iodine number. I have another listing for double pressed stearic acid. Below is a quote from the marketing materials for this product:
    "EMERSOL™ 132NF Stearic Acid, triple-pressed, has an extremely low impurity content and low iodine value making it the purest commercial macrocrystalline stearic acid available.  EMERSOL 132NF Stearic Acid is the prime choice for the highest quality end products because of its outstanding color stability, resistance to rancidity, low odor and unmatched oxidation stability."
