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

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]
