Calcium stearate is a biochemical-grade laboratory reagent supplied at a minimum purity of 95 % for use in biochemistry applications. It is identified by CAS number 1592-23-0 and EG number 216-472-8, with the empirical formula C₃₆H₇₀CaO₄, a molar mass of 607,04 g/mol and a density of 1,12 g/cm³. The flash point is 175,6 °C. Calcium stearate from manufacturer Carl ROTH provides documented composition data that support molar calculations and routine handling assessments under standard laboratory conditions. Physical parameters enable straightforward integration into protocols for dispersion, blending or further chemical processing. Research, method-development and quality-control laboratories can employ this grade wherever calcium stearate of biochemistry suitability is required. Clear identity, purity and pack information help maintain traceable reagent stocks across biochemical and general chemical workflows.
