Manganese stearate is a
metal-organic compound, a salt of
manganese and
stearic acid with the chemical formula C
36H
70MnO
4.
[1]
[2] The compound is classified as a
metallic soap, i.e. a metal derivative of a
fatty acid.
[3]
Manganese stearate is synthesized by the reaction of stearic acid with sodium hydroxide, followed by reacting with manganese chloride. [4]
Also, the reaction of manganese(II) acetate with stearic acid. [5]
The compound forms pale pink powder. [6]
Insoluble in water. [6]
The compound is used in organic synthesis reactions. [6]
Also as an oxidant additive for oxo-biodegradable polymers (for example, high-density polyethylene). [7]
